Mine is called " the Van " by myself and wife and also by my son when he wants to borrow it even though I sold my Berlingo van for a Berlingo Multispace, I have after all owned a van almost continually for nearly thirty years so I guess the die is firmly cast on that one.
I've never ever called a vehicle by a name let alone considered it to have gender.
When my wife and I go out it is usually a case of her asking me ( she hates driving ) which one are we taking so I either answer with the Van, the Car, the Land Rover or whichever make motorcycle it will be.
I did in younger years purchase a Bermudan Sloop which came with a female name and as it was a nuisance to register differently I left it as was but even then I only ever referred to it as the " Boat "
