Flat4 Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Not sure if there's a spotted thread on here but nevertheless, this old thing is so glorious it deserves it's own! Parked next to it at Lidl's but sadly didn't get to speak to the owner. Would like to have known which engine it has. All I know is that it's a derv. Last MOT was in 2016 as it'll be exempt now, being from 1968. Had lots of welding and undersealing in 2014, according to the MOT history, which is probably how it's survived this long. juular, danthecapriman, crad and 16 others 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was an ice cream van because of the shape of the windows on the passenger side but it seems it's always been a camper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_al_granvia Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 i loved that van, it is so honest, unlike most classics that are polished to the hilt it has a patina, flat paint, rust, parts not matching but still on the road. 53 years old, from when the railways were steam powered, from when there was no colour tv or internet. maw, paw an the weans on holiday with a radio and pack of cards for entetainment. it is a piece of social history that is alive and still doing what it was designed for. a flat bunnet of motoring BorniteIdentity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat4 Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Have a Google for Landliners. I didn't know what they were either til Strangeangel pointed it out. They are technically a conversion but from my understanding, they were bought from Ford by a professional converter and then sold on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
