The owner finally collected the van and transported it from about 60 miles south-east of Melbourne to his home about 100 miles to the north-west.
He is embarking on a total restoration and the van is already up on axle stands.
It is remarkably rust-free & complete in all original details under all that neglect damp; grime and sump oil. It was kept in open storage since the mid-90's. - the sump oil coating was intended as an improvised conservation technique and it does seem to have worked.

It is hoped that the new owner will start a blog/web site so we can all see the progress of the restoration or if not, carry on sending pictures to me and I will post them here.
The only part that is missing is the Metal Driver seat frame, any one have a spare?
