As you can see this Morris J van blog is back, there is plenty of work still to be done to this site. As its taking much longer to do a web site for the Morris van we all love, this blog is back.
The Facebook page (run by Chris Barnes) I understand is going from strength to strength with over 3000 people looking at the J van pictures just last week.
Did any one spot the postal Morris J van at the start of yesterdays, day time Father Brown story?
Thanks to G.S. who has passed on this picture of the van in action.

Hi all.

Seasons greetings.
I hope you have a fantastic time in the next few weeks.
Just to let you know we will be shutting this blog site down for a few days/weeks, sort of maintenance and a bit of tidying up. Keep all the great pictures coming in and we can have a bumper posting soon.
All the best the J gang.

Quick update.

The Morris JB bread van that was for sale in Australia went for $25,000 about £13,280.

Another Australian van has come on the market.

Up for sale is an old 50s era Morris Austin van,
They've become a rare and collectible vehicle and would be a great project for someone who wants to restore this back to original or convert to a rat or hot rod
I bought this from a deceased estate and was informed that it was running prior to being stored over 25 years ago
It is complete and has a few spares, there is rust in the body but the chassis structure is good
The van is located in Sydney at Rozelle
I'm willing to help with transport and loading if required
If you want any further information call Mike 0419 800 700
Check out e-bay Australia.
