I bought a barn find in 2003 to restore, the van had been in a crash not long after a farmer bought it from new, a BSA smashed into the side but I believe no one was seriously hurt. the farmer towed it into his barn where it stayed for 30 years hence the original paint still on the underside.
John Wegg did the body and I rebuilt the engine and interior, it now boasts a solid oak roof rack which is morticed and tenoned with ebony wedges.
