He also fitted these banded ones on to it as well which look nice.

(Just noticed that the front number plate is different in that last shot but I'm sure it's the same van?)

 

Sadly i have no more info than this, But god do i want this van! 8)

 

EDIT - That last photo is a coupe and not the same van! :oops:

Cheers, Trig!That is one hella sexy classic van. I would love something like that for my business, even if I only dared use it on 'clean' jobs in the summer.

That is lovely, I think I prefer the cream banded steels on it....would be brilliant for a business.

I have a soft spot for these old BL van's, A bloke i used to work for as a kid bought a Morris Ital van (A41 SHK) which had only done 40000miles from a local plumbers who had it from new.

 

It was still full of tools when he bought it from a auction and i had the job of clearing it out, I even found some moldy sandwiches in the back. :?

 

He took me out in it a few times even though it wasn't taxed or moted as it needed welding, He never did get round to fixing it and no doubt knowing him it's still sitting in a field somewhere, I really wanted it.

 

Anyway I've found a couple more photo's.

Does it have the correct povvo spec Sherpa dash fitted?

Fantastic. Though it looks good on the Minilites and the other cream wheels, just think of what a timewarp it'd be with standard Marina steelies on.

That van is great but does suffer from that disease usually found on "Old Skool Fords", Too-Small-Tyre sndrome. Would look better in my opinion with the suspension lowered more but taller tyres (ground clearance would probably be similar)

Very, very cool! Do like!Looks best on the steels though as far as I'm concerned. Minilites do look a bit on the small side.

I agree entirely. Gorgeous looking thing though on the steelies.

I've seen a presumably ex-AA yellow Ital van cruising around Wakefield a couple of times. It looks HOT!

That Marina van is cool, though I think it would look better on reflective 'raised letter' numberplates than the iffy black and silver jobs - surely it would have been supplied new with reflective plates.

Oooh i spotted that one in Plymouth a year or so ago!!!!
