1985, a New Zealand museum stock pile.

The New Zealand Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT) had this van way back in 1985, does it still exist?

Thanks to M.P. for the pictures.

A new to the market, Morris J van.

For sale in NZ...

Morris J Van. Been sitting in my garage for over 20 years, possibly time to move it on. Please consider this van as requiring restoration, in saying that it is in pretty good condition, there is an area of left front floor that will need repairing. I think the clutch plate has frozen on to fly wheel. Engine is same as Morris Oxford I believe, has 4 speed gear box. Almost 100% there. I will not go into great detail in answering questions, it is not new, at the moment it is not road worthy, it hasnt been registered for over 20 years, it will require work, the amount depends on the finish you are after. This vehicle will have a relatively small number of serious buyers, others, please dont be offended if I either dont answer or reply with a smart arse comment, any irrelevant or dumb questions. Thanks. Currently $5500 NZ
