Well by now OBL will be back at home after a week away in Birmingham. No problems going up apart from the driver needing a tea and a wee.Return journey very interesting due to very gusty side winds down the motorway, apart from a fuel stop half way I got home in the light.
Many things are happening in the J type world, Here are a few.
The van below that was for sale in NZ has been snapped up and is as we speak on its way to Australia to join the new owners other classic vehicles.
As the new owner states and I quote
The chassis plate and sidevalve engine/gearbox are for sale for £350 on e-bay. The chassis plate dates from late 1952/53. Beware if your thinking of buying it, the DVLA do look out for items like this, to catch people out trying to claim false identities for their vehicle.
It also would appear that the guy who bought the "Bowie" van off of e-bay also bought the Colin Ellis wreck, so far he has spent over £6 thousand pounds and he still does not have all the bits to make a road worthy van. It is rumoured he has a third vehicle but he declined to give details.
The ice cream van below has been on e-bay a few times, trying to get work for it at events well its up for sale now with a bid of £6500 but it has yet to get to the reserve. In an e-mail I have been told of that the seller is looking for £12 thousand, must be money in ice creams.
I have seen some of the documents on your site, they are great, a wonderful service.
I should blame you really, your site triggered the interest in the first place!
OK, when it arrives I will take some shots and video of the van.
So it's my fault, I'm very pleased to say!!! Another J type thats going to be used and enjoyed, excellent.
