The (Y25-1) 1910 Renault Type AG Van joined the range in 1983 when the Perrier version was released.

Livery: (Tampo)
'PERRIER' in white with black outline and red and white Perrier logo, all within white frame on both sides of van.
'MISE EN BOUTEILLE A LA SOURCE VERGEZE GARD) FRANCE' in white on both sides of van.
'PERRIER' in black with two black scrolls on header board.

Variations/Rarities: The Perrier was first released with the early three support roof. However it was soon found that the plastic was weak and that these luggage rails broke easily. This early version is quite hard to find.
The tools for the side lamp lens on the drivers side were altered. The modified lens was used on all subsequent models of the Y25-1.
Due to the easy interchangeability of the seat component with the Y14-2 Maxwell and Y13/Y26 Crossley models, no premium should be attached to seat colour variations.

Interesting Facts: A problem occurred with the windscreen mould tooling which resulted in the grab handles being filled in during the James Neale run.
Several thousand of these components were produced before the fault was rectified.
The majority of the closed grab handle windscreens were fitted to the James Neale vans, but some were also fitted to later runs of the Perrier, the Duckhams, Eagle Pencil and Tunnocks.
