Spotted yesterday -- Bayside Beach

[winterwood]

She is approx 10ft of unknown age. On the roof, there appears to be a modern Four Seasons Hatch fitted.

Near the bottom of the door on the left, is a plaque which says 'Skyline'. Unfortunately no one was home, so I couldn't see inside ... however I'll go back this coming weekend, to hopefully get more info.

Any estimate of her age?

Hi Winterwood

I'm sure this one's been on the forum before - it belongs to a lady who has it pinked inside. I've not been able to locate it online - someone else might remember and be able to look it up, couldn't have been more than a year ago!

Cheers

G'day Max, I'm thinking 1960 or thereabouts. It has the same windows as my 1960 Newcastle van, and which I think are the second-generation (or third?) style of aluminium windows introduced into the industry.

That's a pretty interesting parking brake set-up.

cheers,
Al.

That is delightful Max. Love all these vans you keep finding, when are we going to see one parked in your yard?

This van belongs to a friend of mine,she gets out occasionally with it,but not as much as I would like!
She has done a great job on the interior too.
Went to a caravan repairer to get some ceiling rot fixed and electric brakes fitted,came home with a 4 seasons hatch!!Not happy.

Notice those tail-lights......off a Vanguard. Phase 3 I think

I would think they could be a popular choice for the fact that they look the part and are a complete unit ( If you could find them!)

Hi Al, Dean, Carley, SGTL and humpty2,

I called in yesterday and met the owner Julie ... the interior of this cute van looks really good with white & pink everywhere and tastefully done. The 4 seasons hatch, to my mind, does not look out of place.

Julie was certain it was an early 50's model.

Some more photos below.
