Found in Adelaide and is now in Sydney with its new owner.
Said to be the 6th oldest in the world, this has to be confirmed.
Looks a great project.

A restoration project emerges from the undergrowth.

The van as found and has been purchased by a J van owner to safe guard its future, J.B. is looking to sell it on to an enthusiast who will restore this early 1951 van. It's a great restoration project.
There could be replacement sides and roof from a donor van, flat packed many years ago to help with the restoration.
The engine is there, the radiator has been ripped out but the front panel survives, wheels are missing but with the very active J van clan out in Oz, the missing items should not be a problem to obtain. Check out J.B's blog for further details.

A Sunicrust bread van has recently changed hands.

This Van has recently been sold in Australia located about 200 km West of Melbourne.
It was a Baker's bread delivery van for all its life, and when the driver retired, his boss said "The van is old and to be retired - take it home as a present, and thankyou for your good work".
The Van sat on his property under pine trees for many years. The owner restored "Skoda cars" and never got round to restoring the van. I understand he died recently, and all his estate was sold. I saw the van about 8 years ago, and the body was getting very thin at that time after years of exposure to "Acid rain" from the pine trees.
Many thanks J.B. who is our man in Oz for this story.
