Advert states,

It is complete but not running, lots of spare parts including spare engine bock, clutch, pistons, globes, 
camshaft, water pump, headlight bulbs, two stock rims, j type workshop manual, j type
 supplementary manual, j.2 manual and lots of bits and bobs.

Shows signs of rust all over. 
Roof very sound side and door sills would need to be repaired.

What a nice project, a late 1958 JB van.

It would be so good to see that restored .
