What started GD's interest in J types, why 115BLK.

Here's the van that started it all.   I remember this some 30 odd years ago , nearer 40. When I was courting, I remember seeing it parked near her home. It was in the very early 70's, and so seemed pretty dated then .
Pale grey in colour, probably Farina Grey, and I'm sure it had the bakers' name nicely sign-written on the sides. His name was Theo Evans , and had a bakery / bread /cake shop in Gilfach , near Bargoed.
The enclosed picture is the only one I can find. It shows the van parked in a side street , down behind the bakery. The shop was up the hill behind the van , and around the corner to the left.
Sorry about it's poor quality.


So the question is what started your interest in J's? Do let me know.
