Re: Christmas cards delivered !
Yes, the GPO must be wondering why a Suffolk mailvan is
delivering in Manchester...
Strange to think this was made alongside Engineers' vans
with opening o/s screens!

Re: Christmas cards delivered !
I can remember a weekend-long conversation when me and Andy G and 1098 were parked up at a National rally at Harewood house some years ago when 1098 had just acquired this van - and was talking of restoring it. Glad that the decision was to conserve rather than to restore! Made a weekends worth of grovelling, pleading and cajoling all worth while! Merry Christmas, Ed.

Thanks Dave.

Re: Christmas cards delivered !
Oh yes, don't restore that one! The quote on my sig says it all....
Great to see it out and about.
Didn't know you were a J van owner too Sid. Any others out there?
It was a simple matter to rip the up and over garage door off, raise the lintle and make hinged doors when we got the J. There's always a way...
