Hi All. Have just taken delivery of an early 12" Viscount circa 1955. A lovely shaped van in reasonable condition for its age. I am about to embark on its restoration and will post some photos soon. Regards Rodney

Welcome Rodney. What a great van you have there. That upholstery is every vintage vanners dream! One of the most difficult items to source, material or vinyl that is similar to the 50's & 60's products used. Are you taking her back to aluminium or going to repaint? Really looking forward to your resto  Cheers, SGTL |

My intention is to take the exterior back to aluminium by removing around 5 layers of paint. Regards Rodney. |
