The remains of a J van for sale.

Quote,
This is Noonans Bakery ( an icon bakery that Perth people knew very well 70+ years ago) ex delivery van from back in the day. It's been our centre piece in the court yard of our business Old Skool Collectables Antiques Retro and Vintage here in MADDINGTON on Albany Hway. People stop all the time just to show their kids or grandkids an iconic vehicle. We've had grown men weeping because of a past memory they have recalled.
We're sad to say we have to close down as the real estate won't renew our lease here and we are finding it hard to find anywhere to move our new business of only 6 months too. We finally got over 250 people walking in our door a day to now having to close and find somewhere to store 600sqm of everything you could imagine in just three weeks to God knows where.
It's rough but has character
It's old but comes with WA history
It's heavy I know cause we dug it out of a backyard here in Gosnells in the middle of a bitterly cold part of winter..
Restored she would look awesome that, time and money we don't have.

$2000 ONO

Only serious people call no time wasters.
