Jarrahdale Machinery Museum, found by super surfer GD.

Yes another J type in a yard full of rusty metal, this is a Machinery Museum in WA, Australia. No details yet on the best vehicle in the yard. Anybody passing by, could you please pop in and get the chassis number and some history?

On a different note I have been scanning local council web sites, some have posted on line some of their vehicle licencing details, this was at a time they issued registration numbers and administered vehicle excise duty (tax discs) before the DVLA took it all over. One of the best councils web sites I have found so far found is Gloucester and I have been doing a bit of research on our vans. There are many errors in the lists, mainly with chassis numbers, all typo's when copying over thousands of documents.
I will be posting a few of the gem's I have found shortly. Why not have a look at your local councils site, it can be surprising what's out there. Freedom of information and all that.
As reported on Tinworm's site the "Trumans" van has been sold, we understand this has gone to a friend of a guy that already has two J type van, one JB and one project Austin 101.
