Hi all,
New forum member Fiona has emailed me with some photos of a nice little 11 ft van that she and her partner have recently acquired:
Fiona's partner found a label saying 'Modern' above the front window, and the van has a number of the features of the late 60's/early 70's Moderns, including the overall shape, profile of the front wall, the relatively small front window, and the shape of the wheel arch, so it looks as if the label is correct.
However, Fiona is also interested in the approximate age of the van. Assuming that the white paint is original, I am thinking that indicates that the van is no older than 1967 because that's when the acrylic coated cladding started to be used. The serial number is TL187 if that helps.
Can anyone give Fiona a better indication of the build date of her van? What about the WA crew?
