Very rare, this van was in the Museum at Dumbarton for a few years and having had a look at it then there where a lot of original features still on it. It was verified as a Thomson in the late 70's by Thomson and to date it has not sold on Ebay. The present owner has put in a great deal of work so far and all the original internal fittings that are still there are also part of the sale, these where removed in order to help with the interior frame work access when they where working on it and should be able to go back in once cleaned up etc.

Just wish I had the money, health and skill to restore this rarity!

Think I must be missing something here? the advertiser is selling as he hasn't had time to do any work required and the only interior bits left are an cupboard either side of the door! Assume window / door catches and other fittings are original. Having said that it looks like its very much worthwhile to restore. Could even be tempted if it comes up again at an open bidding Smile
Could be asking for detailed images soon unless its sold in meantime. Smile
