I got knocked of my motorcycle December 16 2019, spent six weeks over Xmas new years in hospital, broken scapula six multiple broken ribs. The awesome (Sarcasm) company I was working for layed me off the week before the first Covid lockdown, I'm still on the Compo! I am restarting my Auto Electrical business this month!

In the market for a very tidy J type van? check it out! . . . http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=253376306

After a Tip off about a rusting Jay Van and a google search of the area I paid the old guy (John) a visit to check out what I was hoping would be another Jay Van, but it's a bit to rusty for me I did get a tidy front grill badge though!
The back half is very much amateur home made ! it's got a side valve motor, the ID tag was corroded to dust! gauges were in tact! and yes it has wheels and running gear,If you may be keen to buy this van let me know!

I've started on a repaint mission on my 120Y so I can sell it to finance the Jay Van, Who ever painted it last time was probably an Auto Electrician too! the roof and bonnet are so crazed it looks like the paint was poured on its so thick, so have to be taken back to bare metal and start from scratch.

Oh woe is me seems I bought this van and then this recession hit hence nothing has happened on the restoration I have been getting the odd part including spoked steering wheel X Landrover really should get a Morry one though, Smiths gauges X Jaguar, and Lucas Trafficators. . .

Dragged the ole rust bucket (Chassis Number JR 23555,Which according to my learned friend Roly makes it 1954 vintage!) closer to home last week, It's about 10 Kms down the road where I'll strip it down a bit , Rust is a bit more prevalent than I realized nothing the sand blaster can't sort! well I'll have a two seater! At some stage this van was a sign writers wagon, Sign's (09) 420**** on passengers door

The Jay Bible! MCII/6A

Gidday,
Got a J Bible today, The cover is a bit ratty pretty standard for it's age though, But the pages are mint the thumbing through I gave it today Has probably doubled the readers it's had, Bloody bargain at $15 And that included the courier fee, Thanks John.

First Contact

I've only been looking for a Morris J Van for about two months, after seeing a wanted add on TardMe (deliberately misspellt !) that ignited a spark within my childhood memories of seeing these sinister looking vans and telling my Dad "Look Dad theres a Burgler Van". So I've won this auction on TardMe... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=167192175
