Re: Cornish Splitscreen Van Calling!

I'm Up in Devon, I have a couple of '53 vans so if I can be of help please feel free to get in touch. The van pictured is a '54 van which I also own. This is in very poor condition and is awaiting a full restoration. I am also restoring a '53 van for a customer.[frame] http://mmoc.org.uk/mbimage.php...
