Evening,
Question time again. What would my Postal Engineering van have fitted in the way of a starter button. Having replaced the manual washer pump with the GPO electric pump, which uses a two function switch wiper/washer leaving me with a spare hole in the switch panel. Hence, what should be in it? Any info would be a great help, cheers

Amazing! Such luxury on a basic utility vehicle.....
Factory fitted - or a GPO addition?

The GPO were the largest purchasers of Morris vans, so what the GPO wanted, the GPO got, 803 engines until 1964, rubber wings, opening driver's windscreen, wooden inst panel etc

First available on the updated 1098 GPO model 11/64 - therefore not all 1098 engines.
