Fancy lending a hand?

One or two old vehicle nuts are thinking about helping out the owner of the famous London knife grinders van.
Its been off the road for the last 12-14 years, due to a blown side valve engine.
How did it happen?, I understand the van was stolen and thrashed and when it died at the side of the road the louts vandalised it a bit.
Dragged home, there it has sat.
Some glass needs replacing and as I say the engine needs sorting out, a spare is supplied.
What is needed are some willing volunteers to get the van running and an offer of transport to the 65th J van bash in Birmingham can then be taken up.
It would be nice to see it, maybe the museum could give it an under cover home?


A nice mid 1955 Morris Commercial. Thanks to M.C. for the pictures taken today.
