[RussLCV]

£5 0r £10 you will get copies of all keepers since the vehicle first appeared on the DVLA's system, including a copy of the log used to put it on!

DVLA came on stream 1971-1977, so it may have been on from new your never know your luck.

Hang on a minute - have I got this right, You + the missus + the nipper +the dog + the teddy bear all going camping in the van + the teardrop......? Wow.

[diggerjones]

Not quite . That was the maiden voyage. Went to a local caravan park for tea about 6 miles away.
Only used it twice more and one of them times was pulled by the peogeot.

that colour is for sure SWEB blue

Absolutely, it just needs the old Logo on there with that big square a**ed "E". You never see any old Wales Gas vans around either, guess those guys killed them off.

Ford Carribean Blue I am informed by an ex-SWEB van

[diggerjones]

Yes think that was the colour.
I like the colour now. Wasn't sure when I first picked it up.

Wasn't there also a "Caribbean Turquoise" about - being simply referred to as "blue"
doesn't seem right. Aye oop, talking twaddle AGAIN!

Yes twaddle indeed, you're thinking of the Galapagos tortoise and certainly not blue just big.

Nice colour What colour was the engine in the van black or green ?

I think the MMOC are sticking to black engines for Austin LCVs - an idiot like me will never convince them otherwise!

You REALLY need to lay off the Horlicks!

Caveman when it comes to paint; light blue,mid blue or dark blue - as for Antelope
in the suburbs of B'ham, there are Antelope's in Africa, but NOT blue ones!

Ahhh...

Of course there would be a completely separate batch of black engines for all Austin badged LCVs. Makes perfect sense on a production line system.... Hah.
Surely its just a date thing, that the engines were black after a certain date regardless of the Minor they went into? As for that date, I'd be asking you...

When was the first van badge engineered Austin Iain 1970 ??
