Bits and more bits.

Out on location filming, very damp and cold, so it must have been a bit up north.
 A period picture, unknown location. A GPO mail van washes its wheels in some very deep flood water.
 A busy period street snap, three GPO mail vans fighting their way through heavy traffic. I've never seen a GPO mail J type van have a white circle on the off side door, anyone know what it was for?

A smashing period picture, Originally posted by Pete Bullivant to Old Napier FB page. Taken early 1960s in Napier New Zealand

Via the Facebook page, this van has surfaced.
For sale at a recent Bendigo swap meet. The guy sitting against the NSF wheel currently owns it, and was asking $7000 for it. It didn't sell. Bring it over here, he would get double that....

From David Walker "It was in good condition, and complete. All the parts were stored in the back. It could be put back together as is."

An Australian bargain.

A brand new, well old stock it would seem, Morris JB badge. Cost? The postage was more than the badge, won with one bid.
Nobody in Oz wanted it.
