Whilst driving on some back country roads over Easter I spotted a property with at least 8 vans on it!!!
All are of what I call comercial type or grader gang vans.
That is high, solid, some with truck wheels,and all clad in plain smooth aluminium.
When I lived in Alice Springs I repaired these types and many belonged to Govt. or private grader operators and road repair gangs.
One of those I saw on Sunday is about 10' long and 2 about 14' long, all were of a recreation style van shape and some have port holes.
Half a K. up the road was another of this type as well.
I will return when time permits and ask some questions as 3 or 4 look like possibolities for vintage vanners.
Maybe one of you would like a monster grader van to tow behind a vintage Mack or Foden!Regards Beetles
