Found these two yesterday, both RHD. Ones a 63 rag, and the yellow is a late oval. :cry:

You can never have too many accessories on your car. 🙂

Great pictures Andy 😃

Hope I’m not hijacking this thread as I love threads like this. We were out on our mountain bikes this morning, through lanes and the back roads etc

(Maybe this is why my car's taking so long :oops: )

As usual I keep an eye out for anything that me be hidden away, looking in any garages where the owner may have left the door open :oops: and I saw this as I came around the corner. 😃

Not sure of the year as it was actually on a ‘G’ plate. As I got closer I saw the rear of it…

Don’t know what hit it but it was something big.. :roll:

Next to it was a ’68 cal looker 😳 (obviously I didn’t take any pictures of that). I’ll have to keep an eye on this, and hopefully ‘bump’ into the owner to get more info.

Any one else care to contribute, preferably their own…

Is that around here, Chris?

I'm absolutely certain that I saw that van for sale at Stanford Hall about four years ago. Looked quite nice on first glance.

However, see that sill under the loading doors? That was just the start. I had a quick look underneath and discovered that there were not only no outriggers at all (note where that front mudflap is located, that's the only place to screw it onto), the main rails were made up of lots of little squares of metal, as was the floor and almost everything else... all covered in a couple of inches worth of black underseal. And it was about £12,000.

A hefty rear end smash is the best thing that could have happened to that van. I'm amazed it didn't split down the middle...

You can call me Al.

Van's up in the Halkyn area. Didn't have time to look around as the lads I was biking with didn't wait and I had to catch them up. Also didn't want to get caught snooping around... lots of dog owners up there....

BTW, which town/village you in ?

Not quite. I'm further down the road, and slightly more sophisticated than that.

Mind you, I agree with the description of the others...
