J type sill panels.

MTR restorations have an Austin 101 in their workshop. One of the jobs being undertaken are new sills and door runners.
So I understand while making one pair they thought they would make a spare second pair.
Simple design but complicated by the tapering and gently curves of the body work.

Great work guys.

Yet more far flung vans.

I was sent a picture of a J van coming out of some trees.
From the registration number it was not hard to work out the van lives in Tasmania.
Sending the picture to the MCJTV vehicle owners group soon produced the information to track the van down.

Yes they have a blog site for their organic fresh produce. I have e-mailed them in the hope they can supply a chassis number, we await further progress.
Now another interesting "new" van is this

A Left hand drive, square side lamps Morris Commercial van in a car museum in Portugal. I'm trying to track down further details. After an hour searching on the WWW

I have tracked down some further details. Listed as a 1950 van.

Seems to be owned by a vehicle hire company, hiring vehicles for films,TV, weddings and corporate events.etc

See their collection here. http://museuautomovel.com/frames/index.html

On another note, this blog site had its biggest number of hit's yesterday, 120 people checked it out, or maybe it was me 119 times. Thanks to all for the support.

Far Flung J type vans.

Recently spotted on the Indian version of e-bay /exchange and mart, (mumbai.oix.in)
was this advert.
Shame the advert has expired as I wonder what the other views of the van were like and what if any details were given.
I will have to check this site from now on! Current exchange rate equals £8,824.00
 This is the first Indian van I've ever seen. Thanks to M.P. for the picture.

The recent J van advert on e-bay has disappeared , a cash sale maybe?
Turns out this is the old Colin Ellis van, RGK 535, a telephone utility van serial number U69944. It was sold on e-bay about 3 years ago in a similar state, they don't seem to have done any work on this since purchase.

Will it be restored as a GPO van, a normal van or another damn retro ice cream van?
