Dick Longbridge Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Have we had this beauty yet? It's identical to one my parents neighbours owned in the mid 1980s, complete with back seat. I remember the fella saying at the time it was an unusual one because of the interior setup. I didn't realise it was a specific 'Double Plus' model though. I've many happy memories of bouncing around in the back of my mate's mum's ropey ex AA H.A at a similar time in the 80s. Want.

High Jetter Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 IIRC it was cheaper road tax if a van rather than an estate, hence seat in back but no rear side windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Potatographed Anglia van, anyone? Ford Anglia Van | eBay There's a fairly simple* way to buy it, involving flying to Portugal, examining it, paying two different people, flying home, then going to Birmingham to pick it up weeks later. So, in a nutshell, it involves going to a strange land where you can't understand the locals, putting yourself at the risk of being bummed/mugged/used a drug mule AND you still have to also go to Portugal.

lesapandre Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Who'd a thought thirty years ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Chateau de Chassilier wine? Aye. In them days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a Yorkshire Jowett Jupiter... An old Jowett Jupiter... Without bumpers... Or seats... With a filthy, rusted scuttle... We never used to even have a hood. We used to have to drive round with the rain coming in... The best we could manage was huddle inside... But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor! Because we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, 'Money doesn't buy you much Jowett Jupiter! E' was right. I was happier then and I had NOTHIN'. We used to drive in this old Jowett, with no windscreen. Windscreen? You were lucky to have a hole! We used to drive round in one, all twenty-six of us, no seats. Half the floor was missing; we were all huddled together in one corner for fear of falling! You were lucky to drive! We used to have no steering wheel. We used to dream of no steering wheel. Woulda' been a amazing to us. Twenty of us used to drive in an old Jowett with no windscreen, no hood, no seats, no trim, no steering wheel, a hole in the floor, a rusty scuttle, and a dashboard made out of an old plank. But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.
