lesapandre Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 15 hours ago, Cavcraft said: 1970 Austin Cambridge A60 Half-Ton van on column. | eBay 'Half-ton' is probably how much metal it's shed, sadly. These were in production 1957-1973 - based on the new 1954 Austin A40 body tub. BMC were keeping the body pressings and B-series engine in production - selling a 1954 based vehicle as late as 1973. I can't think what also used the B-Series by that point* - maybe some other of their commercial vehicle offerings and of course the MGB. To add spice to the mix they badged them Morris as well... Ah the wacky world of BMC. Incredible to think that by the time they dropped this 50's dinosaur the new Ford Escort van had been in production...5 years. They were OK vans - I remember seeing them about - but very old fashioned and dynamically challenged. They rusted very nicely (they were unibody not chassis based) and consequently even made as late as '73 seemed, I recall, to disappear off the roads pretty quickly. The nicest iteration is the pick-up. Any viable survivors make good money these days. ORMSBY OF SCARISBRICK are still going - they sell church furnishings - so this probably had quite light use which explains it's survival. https://ormsby.co.uk/ *full list follows Cavcraft and Fumbler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't the standard GM tidemark on these stop below the side trims rather than an inch above though? I'd be doing some checks with a magnet for £7k. Edit: I stand corrected! I can't quite work out why GM didn't end it lower down. I guess it could be to follow the line of the top of the front bumper. Odd choice though. egg and Cavcraft 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes thanks - the 'B' was used in the J4 up to '74, Landcrab up to '75, the Marina to '78 and even the Sherpa to '78. MGB used the engine up to the end in 1980. Looking on t'web the diesel version of the B hung on even longer and built under licence in Turkey - and there was a marine version too - popular in narrow boats apparently. Possibly still in production in some remote factory 😂 MiniMinorMk3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
