About Owen

Owen is a 1969 Renault Estafette van FST purchased in September 2015. FST, with the help of sponsors, restored Owen back to his former glory, Owen is one of the few Renault Estafette in the UK and he is now roadworthy and available to hire.

FST purchased Owen with the intention of putting him back on the road to help generate income to cover our running costs. We also want to create sustainable employment opportunities for workforce members.

Read and follow Owen’s journey in the book.
