I'd love a Morris J-type, should I have the need for a small van.



Either that, or a Jowett Bradford


Very Happy

Although historically I've always liked E83Ws, I think if I was on the look-out for a van, I'd also be tempted by a Morris J Type (or if possible the OHV JB version).

There are quite a few around still, so I wouldn't have thought it would be too bad.
The Morris 8 Series Z is also a very stylish looking van, but I have never seen one in the metal. Sad

The engine in the J is the sidevalve Morris MO saloon unit. Body and trim parts are very hard to find, although someone I know - who frequents the forum occasionally - is making some excellent repair panels for Js.

The JB had the B series engine, making it a bit more usable I think. There was also an Austin-badged version, called the 101, which sported a slightly different grille as the only difference (AFAIK).
