OBL used as a plant relocation service at the weekend, green motoring at its best.

 As so many J vans are having a facelift or major body re-shaping I thought I would give my van a bit more street credit.

Do you like it, a mini monster truck.

J vans out in force on the South Bank last weekend.

5003 NX flew the flag for the J-type Register and for Haymarket Publications at the Classic Car Boot Sale at the Southbank, London, over the weekend. The Vintage Festival team had transformed Queen’s Walk into a paradise of all things vintage – fashion, vinyl, homewares, pop and automotive culture. With street food sold from classic Citroen and Renault vans and music from the top of a double-decker, it was a vintage-lover’s dream weekend.

Pictures supplied by H.P. many thanks.

Ice cream vans.

Is this the same van? PHU 391 registered 8/10/1952. Chassis number unknown.

A charming 1959 film.

A charming 1959 film from the film archives of Sweden, about a car trip to the UK.
Landing in Scotland and traveling around and sight seeing. Passing through Liverpool, Stratford on Avon and ending up in London.
Just great to watch a colour film of the era and yes there is at least one J type van spotted.
