Recently pictured in Hyde Park selling ices.

942 BYY (ex GPO van) has now been joined by 9284 WB.

Looking like a fresh restoration, here is what it use to look like, when owned by Preston & Sons.

 Then restored to Tartaglia's livery.

Nice to see it out and about.

Thanks M.P. for the soaking wet pictures.

New owners video's of his J van.

Mark the new owner, bought this van very recently for a real bargain price. He seems to work at www.bigshedcustoms.co.nz. I wonder if he will restore this van to original specification or do a full custom job. Time will tell.

Local Car show today.

£40,000 o.n.o. it's for sale again.

For sale on e-bay, a fully restored ex NAFFI van. It is now re-painted in white so the new owner can add their own artwork to the outside.

1959 Morris J Van complete and straight, excellent restoration project.
Motor runs, no brakes.
Mainly surface rust, some rust in sliding doors and between guards and body.
Please note vehicle is situated in Orari north of Timaru and I am in Dunedin so will attempt to answer any questions as best I can.
Restored examples of these vans are exceeding 30K.
This vehicle is dereg'd.

Apart from the non standard oil gauge carburettor and throttle linkage it seems to be a very original van, what a great project van.
