Ghosty, you're correct. The Dublo Listing below identifies this van as a Morris Minor.



My knowledge on cars of this era isn't great.

Found it and very nice too. Can not say I have ever seen one, not that I have been looking for them but when you see these Vans at shows you are always mindful of them being a Van version of a Morris Minor so there you go, I have learnt something useful from this forum

Ghosty.

Dave.

Is the Foden 'Sweeteners' a code 3 or genuine?

Ghosthunter.

Ghosty

A Millionaire I am not! Very unlikely to obtain an original Sweetners promotional, their prices are just too stratospheric.

It's a Code 3 Foden, rather than an original Leyland Octopus. The Original Leyland promo only came in a plain white box.

ah well, you have the same tastes as a Millionaire!

Ghosty.

What's the saying? Champagne tastes on a beer budget......

Recent Arrivals from Italy....

Ferrari

Slightly better condition than the one I already had.



Buying this example meant I had to move my displays around so I dug out the other BBC and ABC Outside Broadcast trucks / vans I have.











Original ABC Van





Repainted ABC Control Room with original Camera. I've got the Cameraman and wires to connect the camera to the truck soemwhere.
