Our new Viscount/Valiant Van

[Dave&Tammy]

Hi all, I had posted the following onto Classic Caravan site as caravan was sold to us as 1970 Viscount but as Millard1399 (aka Franklin1 Vintage forum) suggested this is probably a Valiant from around 1966 to 1968. Any further comments greatly appreciated. Original post below.

1970 Viscount? We have just purchased this van for a surprise for our Sons 18th Birthday to go with his 1970 HG Holden wagon. The RTA paperwork (VIN/Chassis B2990) and advert stated that this van is a 1970 Viscount, I wonder if anyone out there can verify this? I have a feeling it could actually be an earlier model. Any confirmation would be greatly appreciated.













Once I know what model it actually is I will have further questions in regard to what is or isn’t original on van.

Thanks
Tammy & Dave

Hi Dave & Tammy

NSW no plates Black legends on Yellow (Gold ) reflective background with NSW-The Premier State at bottom of plate
started September 1981 at A -20000 the plate on your van
G54069 ...when was it issued very rough guess maybe late 1980s

BUT .....this is not when your van was BUILT.........do you or passed owners have any other paper work .......... from the van sales/rego etc that might have an early no plate on it ??

Will all this help to date your van ...........Don't think so .....unless
you can get some early paper work

sorry I am no help to you
Cheers

Ps I would like to find out also the date of my van and I guess a lot of forum mebers are in the same boat

Hi
Im pretty sure its a viscount alumvan if it has rivots and not screws then Im pretty sure thats what it is , I just sold one to a chap in Sydney and thats what the paper work said as well you can see it in the for sale section under nice viscount, mine was mid 60s your looks a touch later so your would be a little later , if that stove is orginal thay where used in the 70s
