Cute wee bus on the 'bay just now, I'm thinking it's some form of classic commercial equivalent of a tiny Spaniel, but even more lovely..

Well spotted John - Looks fab - however I have a feeling that the vendor dealer has a reserve somewhere upwards of £4k / £5k and it desperately needs a decent paintjob to hide the current paintwork which has been applied by a badly worn knife & fork - decent paint job on something like that is going to be the same price as the van and before you know it you are £10k poorer - meanwhile you can purchase a decent & equally evocative Bedford CA for a lump less - probably not as rare as the J2 though

Re: Altogether now, awww, bless..
Back in the 1960's I, along with four others, went to work in a colleagues CF van. It had bench seats down each side, no seat belts in those days, so you quickly learned to hang on. That CF had an inherent problem, but I can't remember what it was. As for that J2, my childhood friend's mother had one, converted to an ice cream van. There's one popular van missing from that era, The Ford Thames, my father-in-law had one. He would let me use it to take his daughter away at weekends. Three gears, vacuum wipers, what a nail.

I thought that at first, but soon realised that it was the van that GHT was referring to as a "nail."

Ambiguity rules. Yes, it was the van, however the Ford did have one endearing trait, the front bench seats. Negated the need to climb in the back.
