MORRIS J VAN

Those who are getting on a bit will remember these little Morris vans. They were absolutely everywhere during the 1950s and 60s, used as postal vans, road service vehicles for stranded motorists and of course for bread deliveries. Most ended up as scrap or serving as garden sheds minus their narrow and incredibly tough rear axle assemblies. Those were donated in considerable numbers to speedway hot rods and early Modifieds. How many J vans survive is unknown but there is a local club and a Facebook page and a superb one that is a Summernats regular.
