I see it starts at £500.
Is that what they give you to take it away? |

The whole rear(cargo area) is far from Z van original, £500 is absolutely the max the bits are worth.

I agree with Rick; that may not be a factory-built van - I'm not a Morris expert - but it certainly looks a professional effort, and far more authentic than many so-called original vans that come on the market.
We tend to be blinkered into thinking that all old vehicles should be to manufacturer's specification to be original, but many vehicles, especially commercials and export versions, differ significantly from UK-original spec. _________________ in the garage: 1938 Talbot Ten Airline

Actually, it is sound as a bell. Shame no running gear present but that shouldn't be a problem for the club spares secretary. |

So everything considered, not a bad project for a £500 start. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |
