Josh,
You're into wagons as well?
Cummins 220 or 290?
Roadranger g/box?
least it hasn't got a blue interior like the 80s ones - had a demo on Wall's ice cream in 1983 with this vile interior!.
Searching for a 1968-75 Seddon 32.4 for myself - rarer than hens teeth!!

Remember the days when the roads were FULL of Big J's,Seddons, Fodens,Atki's,Ergo's and the mighty Crusaders!!
Pa used to work for Wall's ice cream!!
when we first had the Scanni's the things you noticed were the quiteness and the power - up to that point we had AEC Mandators with 691's,2-pedal Beavers with 680's and Seddon's with Rolls 220's....
Had a lone 1967 ERF LV fitted with a Rolls too.
All our yesterdays!!
English manufacturers had NO chance against the continental stuff!
Wouldn't mind an ERF '' A" series with either a Rolls or Cummins 220,Day cab Scania 110/111 or even a Sed-Atki 401 - have the money, but NO secure space!!!
Good luck with the 'B' series, least you don't have to worry about rust too much!!

Much more fun driving a Cummins/Rolls.
Not much chance of falling asleep at the wheel of a cummins 220 engined Big J4T.
(don't 4get the cotton wool for your ears!!)
Off 2 bed to dream of a Seddon 32.4 that's been parked in a barn for 30 yrs!!!
there's a Scania 111 parked alongside, together with dozens of ex-GPO Minor vans.....
then I usually wake up !!!!

And the Road Tax.......
