Identifying a barn find Van 1000

Post by **pitmantouring** » Mon Dec 09, 2013 11:29 pm

Hi - could someone please help me identify any details of my "barn find" Morris Minor Van 1000 which has the following numbers stamped on it. The original paperwork/logbooks are missing and I only have these to go on...
Engine Plate says :- MAV5 1684** (* indicates unreadable numbers or letters)
also 10MA-U-L 798**
The radiator has :- ARA 101 45 62
Bodywork has :- *34764 C12336*
Many thanks in anticipation...

Welcome to the forum - it has a 1098 cc engine! The real experts will be along in a minute or two to explain the rest.

my van was registered 1st feb 1971 and is mav5-302146 so was made earlier than mine.

Early/mid 1964 built? Come on POMM, how significant?

302146 significant - cab & engine number please?

1684xx cJan '64, cab number spot-on too.

WD40 & talc for the chassis plate.

Sorry but cant find any other numbers anywhere... Can I take it therefore that it's a 1964 van & 1000 engine mk5? Is it possible to find anything else significant from the numbers/codes I've got? Cheers

Do you have a regn number?

When was it last t&t'd?

Post by **pitmantouring** » Tue Dec 10, 2013 9:27 pm

No reg number & last T&T'd in the very early 70's...

No tax discs either- just loads a rust and green moss... I thought there may be a way of getting some history from the numbers which I've been able to read - but if we cant ...such is life - it wont stop the slow restoration. Thanks to all who have tried to help

Wouldn't give up quite yet, have to be persistant in this game.

Would you let me know (by pm) rough idea of its' discovery and where
it was found - don't need addresses and sort codes, just a few brief
details.

email pics of id plates would be a bonus.

Was going to tell you where you can see some Wall's Ice cream Scania's. But, I see you spotted them already.
Did you also see Minor Utility - RGJ 746,parked up in Bank Street,Maidstone ?

And what about UXH 919, AEC Mandator,Post office supplies dept.
Be good, or Father Christmas will remember !
