I see it starts at £500.

Is that what they give you to take it away? Laughing

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

The Danish paperwork maybe suggests locally-built bodywork, or shed-built?

Assuming it has some id, for the £ it's a cheap starting point for a classic van project, even if not factory-original.

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.

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.

Maybe, as the spares sec is quite local, I should get it and tap him up for parts Smile
