  Badge on the back looks like a "Skyline" badge someone donated for the Coledale raffle a few years ago ? Reddo

JBJ, this van could be from as early as 1961. The following advert shows the new Viscount in 1961...  And then this set of pictures showing the same Viscount nameplate as your posting, PLUS the tail-lights which seem to match the outline on mbsix3's van. Note, however, the different shape of this van at the rear. This one seems to fit somewhere in the 1962/63 period, and appears to be when Viscount changed the design to have wrap-around windows both front and rear...  It would be interesting to know if mbsix3's van has a chassis number welded on the front drawbar. These two photos show Viscounts from around 1960... Chassis number N326 and Chassis number N353 cheers, Al. |
