1957 Morris JB Express Delivery Van, Factory O.H.V.and 4 speed model.Reg and w.o.f.Completed a full body off rebuild 7 yr ago and have travelled about 36000 km since then. Motor has been tweaked a bit and is running 5:44 gears in the diff. Brakes have been re shoed and new cylinders during the resto. A few modern additions have been fitted,a heater,a c.d.player,central-locking,alarm, 15'' radial tyres and halogen headlamps.These can be removed if you want the full 1950's experience.(you don't!) It has been a working van so there are a few minor blemishes here and there.There is no rust in the body or chassis.These vans are as rare as a rare thing, only about 500 left world -wide, probably only 2 or 3 in N.Z. Drive around all year with the door open to show how hard you are!
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.
