Thanks for your interest but this little lovely is SOLD!!!! and the enthusiastic new owner will be joining VV ranks soon!!!!!
That may be a grand claim but as there is no VIN and it matches the description of a 1958 Millard it COULD be!!!!!
We rescued this poor old girl from a hippy commune in a rainforest and she has held together REALLY well and handled being towed 10Km's over some rough tracks to get her out. There is water damage around the roof vent down the left rear corner and at the base of the wardrobe...the rest could be used as is!!!There ARE rust issues in the draw bar but the sub frame looks good and apart from the water damage to the rear left corner the timber frame appears to be sound!!!!!...Oh a soft spot in the floor at the door of course BUT if you had your heart set on restoring a timber framed, Aluminium Clad Van...WITH a porthole window AND a classic shape that would look like a matching pair behind an FB,FC,EK you couldnt do much better than this! Even the cupboards and shelves have that 50's angular cut.
The owners think its worth its weight in gold, I think its a solid restoration project so Im hoping you guys can help us with a price to sell it sooner rather than later and to also be forth coming with offers to save this old girl from the clutches of Fleabay!
Heaps more photos and specific details...email kismetATbigpondDOTnetDOTau or 07 54350 zero five three
