new 'old' bondwood in Tasmania

[murray]

Quote from advert on gumtree


'How is this possible? The build of this very special van was begun around 1965 by a cabinet maker in his workshop at Midway Point, Hobart, Tasmania. Built from the chassis up this 15 foot plywood van is very special in it`s appearance and the quality of workmanship being built by an old world craftsman.


The craftsman passed away before completion thus it sat in storage for many years before the family moved it on . It`s exterior is still in undercoat waiting to be painted it`s new owners colour of choice. The interior is all in Tasmanian timbers, blackwood and oak. The period stove and fridge are still brand new having not been used as are all the cushion covers. Some handles and bits and pieces have not been fitted but they are all there.'

I have seen this van in the flesh it is a good one for not a lot of folding, if I did not already have two bondwood vans and be restoring the Cobber van it would be coming to my place.

Hope it goes to a forum member, to be finished properly.

I hope we get to hear more about this great van from the new lucky owners.

Psk.
