Silver wheels and old snowberry grille
See this discussion - I think Robert managed to match some silver paint from a Nissan colour....

When was the car built? I may be wrong but I think travellers built after mid-1970 (Adderly park) would not have come in black anyway!

Yes correct. Black finished on Travellers in June 1970 so it probably sat around until registered. Colour of wheels and grille would still be as stated above though :wink:

That's odd as the chassis number you give is for one of the later vans that were badged as Austin :-?

How to interpret the chassis number HERE, so you can check for yourself (half way down the page under "Chassis Number Identification").

It means that someone has changed the plate with the chassis number on it for some reason :o
