Morris Minor - Willow Pattern Van painted by Keith Sutton

[Maxine]

Calling everyone - My friends aunt used to own the willow pattern morris van. We are looking for it!!! Can anyone help us on our search? Walter Sharpe purchased the van from Keith Sutton when he moved to Hull and had his studio on the Beverley Road. After Walters death the van was sold and the family would dearly love to be reunited with it (if only for a picture) or at least know it was still loved and in working order. Thank you for your help on our search

It would help if you have the registration number, then a search on the DVLA site will ascertain whether the car is still taxed or sorned.

Thank you - we are currently unable to locate the only photo we have of the van and my friends aged aunt 91 can't remember the plate number but will will continue on our search. Thanks again for your advice

Hi there, I have a picture of the van outside your aunts house. I have been looking for the van for a couple of years now and have made a little headway in its history. If you purchase the November issue (2013) of practical classics then you will see my article. I have talked to the family who owned it and the person who bought it off them but then the trail runs cold. As it had a willow pattern on it I thought maybe it would have survived somewhere. More intrigue and mystery when I found a thread where an ex pat in Thailand mentions it in her blog. Talk to you all later, regards, Joegab59

How strange! I'll be sure to read all about it in W H Smiths....
