Looks very futuristic, but only one door?
 
looks very stylish, love it..
nice to see something different for a change than just an oblong white box..
but where are all the service hatches, ehu, loo, etc ?

I like the "small footprint parking option" on it.

Lift up the front and stand it on the bumper and spoiler.

No worries when going shopping and being outside the white lines!

Is it real?
Yep definitely real ...a quick Google brings up quite a few of them .

We, like many many others, have only one door, but we have 7 emergency windows, or 9 if roof lights included.
I like my 2 doors it makes life so much easier when refuelling or using aire services, popping in to a shop etc etc. No need to put a step out or squeeze between seats etc .

I've never had a van with only one door and I'm not keen to be honest
 
It's a nice 'van and the interior, particularly, hasn't dated too much. Given the Fiat engines of that period, however, - 2.5 Tdi? - I'm guessing it's not going to be a ball of fire. Probably means that the spoiler is a bit superfluous!

The spoiler is ironically the thing that spoils it for me.. otherwise I love the sleek look and absolutely love the wood interior...it looks quality inside . I can't help thinking it's for folk under 5 foot tall though as the roof looks very low. And I'm not overly keen on the tag axle.

But when I googled there's a few that don't have that spoiler etc and look nice

I generally love the look of the older stuff though.

But as you say 2.5 engine was grim .

It looks very similar to Yacht Style, maybe the manufacturers were boat builders at one time or the designer was.
I like it, especially inside, but the roof spoiler is very marmite, some would think its well OTT.

I.ve have had a Rialta it's not really like one at all.
