Rare? No, I see at least one every year... :-)

4.2-litre delivery vans? They use mostly VW Transporter TDIs for that here.
Better fuel economy.
Seriously, we used to have that van tax dodge here, too. All kinds of
unlikely cars were sold as vans- Nissan 180SX turbo, Renault 5 GT turbo,
Volvo 480ES... they put a stop to that by stating a minimal load area in
the laws, which immediately ruled out the car-based vans for eligibility.
