Two years ago filming the Crown for Netflix, fantastic day.

 

Its re-paint time for a film job.

 Well a bit of a re-paint for a film job, pictures taken half way there.

Still to finish the red coach line and give the grill another couple of coats then fix the badges and chrome.

Sorry there have been no new posts on this site for a very long time. Just due to life getting in the way of what we want to do. Plus plenty of pictures and stories I've come across I've posted on the Facebook page "Save the Morris J type", it gets over a 1000 visits a week and about 600 interactions. Might be worth a look if you've not seen it before.

At long last.

At long last, the smashed windows on the J type, well to tell the truth, the glass was removed and replaced with sugar glass for a stunt on a TV show.
The episode has only just aired on TV despite the filming done nearly a year ago.

 Near side cab window, camera panning down to the dead body in front of the van.

 Short fight, man runs into side of the van, trying to run away.

Nice aerial view of the body, note hole in windscreen, and displaced number plate.
The whole episode can be watched again on the excellent BBC1 iplayer.

OBL 432 on TV again, two days running.

 Yes on screen twice, two days running.

The finest hand made cycles, and they had a J type when they first started out in the late 40's early 1950's.

Check out their web site.

Also to mark 70years they have tee shirts, cups and saucers and a very nice tie pin.
