Here are 12 vehicles all used for commercial purposes. You might be surprised that any commercial operation ever invested in buying any of them - but by investing your skills in telling me what each one is called, you could earn a point for each!
At least one of those should be familiar to long-time AutoPuzzles readers. :)
Some easy expert points...

#7 Daihatsu Mira walk through van

@white12
It's not fair to post these pics in other "guess that car" forums...it's been done before, but that's a game, no joy in cheating! ;)
Sorry, I thought I was not cheating. I just tried to end my search for the web and get the car guessed. I do not want to cause trouble or offend anyone. Sorry if someone feels offended. I do not want you to think I'm cheating, so if someone completes the Karmann-Ghia VW microbus point for him, I leave it unlocked. I apologize again, but now for my English.

I recognize the first one but for the life of me I don't remember its name.

No need to be too sorry, that's a game and your intentions are clear ;).

I'm not sure what this correspondence is about (another forum maybe?) but if so, white12 seems not to have known the score here, so I think he can have the point. (Yes, QTCB1 is a Ghia design)

qtcb2 is a CT&T C-Zone
Time to hoover the remaining ones up, pros
#9 is the Punda from Uganda
(a list with the solved would help)

QTCB1 Ghia VW microbus prototype
QTCB2 CT&T C-Zone
QTCB3 Hindustan RTV
QTCB5 Willam Fourgonette
QTCB7 Daihatsu Mira walk through van
QTCB8 GM Minivan protoype
QTCB 9 Punda
QTCB10 SEAT 1400 microbus
QTCB11 Sunpacer
No. 5 is a Willam/ Lawil Fourgonette.
No12: is it related to LDV?
#11 - Sunpacer
Is #8 French? Matra?
Could #8 be a pre-production Chevrolet Astro/GMC Safari prototype, and might #12 be a Toyota Hi Lux panel van for the Japanese market?

I'm not sure that it was ever a specific model, but #8 is a GM prototype (from 1972) so I think you can have the point
#12 isn't a Hilux panel van but your guess is the closest so far ...
Only three to get, with some clues:
#4 - this neoclassic has a surprising basis, and country of origin
#6 - find the correct country and this one isn't too hard
#12 - the correct name of this is very often incorrectly plastered over the internet
#6 AYMESA (Andino) from Ecuador?
Or simply a Mahindra from India?
#6 is from neither India nor Ecuador. An earlier guess was much closer...
Is number 4 IPIM from Croatia?

#6 is from the Philippines: G.M. Harabas modified by Manila Motor Works ~ 1975

It is! Well done. Weirdly, it's based on Kia mechanicals

That's correct sir!
Only one to get now - and #12 is probably the most obvious of the lot
Kicking this into the hole. #12 is notorious!
Is there any Austin Rover connection?

None I'm afraid ...
DAF related?
Is the infamous #12 Toyota-related?

No12 is the Toyota Deliboy - sorry Djetset
I didn't lock the topic for Djetset, who I suspect knew the answer, in which case sorry! But pnegyesi got the answer!
The reason why the Toyota Deliboy is so notorious is because there is so much misinformation about it on the internet, particularly after red-top papers picked up on 'world's worst car name' websites. You will find this van described variously as the Nissan Deliboy, Toyota Pantry Boy and - worst of all - the Yamaha Pantry Boy Supreme. Did Yamaha ever make commercial vehicles?

Depends on what you call commercial.
(http://powersports.vanwall.com/images/brands/yamaha/yam09-rhinosport.jpg)
for example could be a commercial vehicle.
Shucks, I thought is was the Deliboy, but as always was too slow. Pal, you owe me one!
