Calling all J van owners in New Zealand.

Check out this.http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/vintage-parts/other/auction-378944886.htm
Morris Commercial van. 1954? This is basically the shell. The doors are in good condition. There is some spare glass. The van's side panels at the base are rusted. There is no motor or gear box but it has a diff. Would suit: parts for existing van. A restorsation project. You will need passion, time and money!!! or and how about this. A mobile, tow able bill board for your business. Finally a garden orniment. They are just too cool to scrap. it needs to go as I have an other.
This sold for $151, so cheap.

Could a fellow Nz J owner try to find out its chassis number (if the top radiator cover is still about) and also get some pictures and chassis number of his other j van.


Thanks to Mike Parry for sending me the link to this advert.

Latest news.

Well my many blog sites have been down for a few days now. Not as every e-mail I gained in my in-box suggested / implied / wondered why I had blocked them for some reason. Sorry the whole site was off line to everybody..
Well the blog is back, in a much reduced, in size kind of a way.
The last 218 postings have been lost, well who takes notice of my rantings anyway?
What have I been doing with my vehicles? Nowt is the answer, so you have missed nothing while I have been off air. As some of you know I do over 40 blogs, many for other people and not just vehicles ones. Maybe too many so I have passed some of these on and have closed most of the rest.
See you around.

My thanks to P.H. for the information.

Sorry there has not been much activity with this site over the last few weeks, just so many other things to do and NO time for vehicles. Lots of house painting is on the cards in the coming weeks.

Mr Cool also known as J.B's J.B. blog has been updated and I have just been sent some additional pictures so will add them shortly.
