JB ice cream van for sale.

In this weeks classic car weekly, there is a brief advert for a Morris JB van.
" Morris JB, 1959, Open to offers, Original ice cream van, offers invited, Yorkshire, phone 07415 616364".
Funny I seem to to know this number, maybe it was on an e-bay advert at some time. Shame no picture included in the advert.
Keep scanning e-bay, rumors are there will be a couple of J type project coming up for sale soon, I wonder if they will go for silly prices again.

Australian JB owner meets Canadian J's.

JB has been on holiday to the USA, so he just had to pop in to Canada (only a slight detour) to see two very early J types.
Check out his blog for the full story. http://aq62uumrcool.blogspot.co.uk/

The Torch...

The Torch passes through Slough, near to where I work. Shame I could not get the JB van near to the Torch route, a Torch and JB picture would have been nice.
