A J type I like.

I like this J type, this will shock people who know me. Why do I like it? Well a very rusty "flat-packed" J van is living again. That has got to be good news. It also appears to have the rear wheels in the centre of the rear wheel arches.
Talking about e-bay, It looks like the ex-ice cream van that sold recently has gone to be re-bodied and will turn up on the South Bank of the Thames selling ice cream- fish and chips- or Burgers shortly to the tourists. No bad thing, an ex-working van being used again to trade, it will raise the profile of the J van still further and might start the restoration of other "project" vans that are out there. It amazes me that there are people sitting with "project" J type vans in their garages and they don't want to get them restored and on the road. Come on chaps, get that J type out, summer is around the corner, the clock's alter this weekend so an extra hour of day light, please put it to good use.
Get it on the road and take it to Gaydon in June for the J type gathering, prime position for our vans right at the front of the museum, contact the J register for details.
