Yet another J van for sale.

This one is slightly more affordable but needs a fair bit of polish and duct tape to get this one on the road.
Check out e-bay for further details, its a hard one to find as its not listed in classic cars or even classic spares.


Sellers advert states,
1952/3 morris j type van has been parked since 1987 after the high winds ripped the roof off
It is far spares but I think it's worth a second chance as a pick up or even back to a van, as they are rara beauty's
Morris parts a cheap to have a go but a open minded person is needed lol
Can help load px poss on parts, please ring Quin on 07718003370 thanks

Registration number ENH comes from Northampton and was issued from early 1954 onwards....
