Hi Bill.
Thanks!
The van is for a customer, a well-known supplier to classic car owners, and will be signwritten. However, they're arranging painting and signwriting and I don't know exactly what's planned.
This was once a Mk1 Ruby saloon that years ago had been the subject of someone's failed attempt at a van conversion. The result was unfinished, hideous and hugely heavy. We stripped it back to what was left of the Ruby and started again - fortunately, the saloon wings are repairable (today's job, in fact) and will be re-used.
As Austin never built a Mk1 Ruby based van, we've adapted one of our standard Mk2 AVK van body kits to fit the Mk1 front end.
Ian W. I meant to say earlier that that's a fantastic-looking body. It inspires me to greater efforts!
