I had one of these for a good few years. It was painfully slow (1489 B series engine and 2tonnes!) but we loved it. We even managed a "Paralanian National Rally" where 7 examples wended their way around West Yorkshire much to the delight of other motorists.
We met at Parry Lane, Bradford, where they were made. The name comes from the works address!.
I have the original brochure for mine, and some contemporary road tests. |

Never seen one of those, I can see why it would be slow though! Once you overcome the 2 ton dead weight then the wind resistance will take over Nice looking old Camper though..
Now try doing this
Or this Click here
Only just learnt that myself!

No.
Running gear not too bad being Austin/Morris Commercial based (one or two were on Commer chassis) but body parts you would have to make yourself or have made. |
