Keeping the commercial vehicle theme. Which humble and infamously noisy van of the 80's was a UK (& I think world) first?

Van Halen?
A very clever youngster!- They are essentially a desert animal and their maumn enemy in the wild were snakes & large birds of prey. Put a cucumber behind a cat whilst its eating or otherwise occupied for some usually hilarious results! Your floor.
Very good.
Would it be the BMC threepenny bit FG van/truck? I think they were pretty noisy and they had a fibreglass cab with lots of glass area.

The only thing I can think of from back then is the Sherpa but I can't think of anything that unusual about it.
I drove a few of the later LDV versions and they were quite noisy inside due I think to a lack of soundproofing. I think the earlier Sherpas had similar running gear to Marinas etc, I don't recall them being particularly loud though. Did they do a more powerful Rover V8 version maybe? Clutching at straws here.
A ducking stool for witchcraft trials?
Wasn't there a secret passageway? (Not so much a secret now), between there and a nearby church, so the condemned could be lead to their death, without being pelted with rotten fruit and veg.
