Seeking advice, new member new van.

[cloudhugger020]

Hello all,
I recently purchased a old Viscount Valiant, I think it is1960s but not really sure the welded number on the chassis is B204.
I am a first timer on message boards I will post photos at some point, the van is all original inside and out but needs a bit of work.
I would appreciate any and all advice on sourcing spare parts, repairs and alternatives.

I don’t have facebook but have seen there are resources on there, don’t really want to go down that path for restoration materials.

Cheers
Danae

Hi Cloudhugger020,

Great to hear about your Valiant and your plans for it.

The serial number B204 tells us that the van was built in 1963, so that makes it amongst some of the earlier Valiants built by Viscount.

We’ll look forward to seeing some photos of your van and hearing about the restoration. There’s info about posting photos if you click here. The easiest way is to use the ‘Add Attachment’ button, but if you intend to provide us with posts about the progress of your restoration it’s worth learning how to post via Flickr or PostImage.

Good luck with it all.
