Would this van have only been used airside? Looks in very good condition, its obviously been kept inside when not being used.

Im not sure tbh , if it was only airside i dont se the point in it being registered and moted every year , however it does have 2 owners on the log book the second name being virgan atlantic. That suggests to me it was pre registered? Or leased then sold to them? It might have been road registered to cross a certian part of the road or something. Ive a mk2 out the airport as well and its an 84 that wasnt road registered till 1990
