A new to the market, Morris J van.

For sale in NZ...

Morris J Van. Been sitting in my garage for over 20 years, possibly time to move it on. Please consider this van as requiring restoration, in saying that it is in pretty good condition, there is an area of left front floor that will need repairing. I think the clutch plate has frozen on to fly wheel. Engine is same as Morris Oxford I believe, has 4 speed gear box. Almost 100% there. I will not go into great detail in answering questions, it is not new, at the moment it is not road worthy, it hasnt been registered for over 20 years, it will require work, the amount depends on the finish you are after. This vehicle will have a relatively small number of serious buyers, others, please dont be offended if I either dont answer or reply with a smart arse comment, any irrelevant or dumb questions. Thanks. Currently $5500 NZ

Another Mexican van? Is this number four?

Please note, the on-line down loadable manuals that are on this blog will be shortly removed due to the high cost of web hosting/storage, please download what you want and save them on your computer as they will be gone in a day or two.

News about the side lamp castings.

Thanks to MTR for supplying a good casting, a pattern side lamp base has now been made. A small batch of 8 more castings will be on order shortly once price is confirmed. The cost will be higher than last time as this is a small quantity.

Somewhere in Poplar, east London.

Currently fitted with a BMC 1.5 Diesel engine and gearbox. The original units are with the vehicle.

Shaping up?

The repaired wing, dents beaten out, the old indicator hole welded up and a skim of filler applied.
The whole wing now needs rubbing down and painting correctly, now where is that paint roller?
On a different note, a Morris J type pick-up truck may well be for sale shortly. If I get any further details I will pass them on.

Whoops.

 Let's talk gate posts.

 They just don't get on with J type front wings.

 So using this small dent as a good excuse to pop down to Devon and a body shop I know.
Yes an early start, we were going past Stonehenge at 8am, nice to see it but I do wonder when they will finish the building work.

Soon driving down a typical Devon village lane.

No problems encountered on the trip down, the dent and a previous repair were soon dealt with and with a skim of filler we set off at 1pm for the trip home.
I will repaint the wing myself, the body shop would have done it but I just did not want to hang about waiting for the paint to go off.
No real problem coming home just very heavy traffic which caused me to take an hour to drive the last 11 miles home.
All in all a nice round trip of just under 400 miles in a 57 year old van.
