Another period picture.

Also how about this for a bargain?


Located in North Island Nz, saved by us here in the UK, stored for nearly two years, now being transported to south island and then returned to the UK. Interestingly it seems to have one wooden frame door. Note also, one door has the handle mounted on the short side, like a normal van while the other is mounted on the long edge. No idea of age or history of this cab. If the cab body plate is still there (the Nuffield Metal Pressings plate) we can at least date it. The cost of this? less than 4 new tyres for your J.
