 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I think its funny that anyone who ever does an A Team 'replica' (i.e. anthing remotely van shaped with a red stripe down the side), they ALWAYS make it just black and red, hardly anyone remembered/realised that the van was two tone silver and black!  |

 Commer Walk-thru Ahh, memories! The greengrocer had one of these, it was in service up till 1991 when it got replaced with a brand new transit 'walk-thru'. Used to come every wednesday morning. Do you still get mobile shops? How bizarrre! I spotted this at a local Christmas Fayre/Rotary Club Santa thingy last week, and was going to post a 'what is it?' type of commment in this thread... And then somebody posts up the VERY SAME vehicle... and a bit of history too, excellent.  And BTW I mentioned UPS panel vans on the first page  |

'79 MG Midget 1500 - Still patiently awaiting attention
'02 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Elegance(!) - Better than you might think
'03 Mazda MX5 - All new and shiny looking (thanks to Antony at Rust Republic)
'09 Renault Clio - Needs to go.

Rare does not equate to valuable. I looked at a Standard ATlas camper for sale a couple of years ago and it was £300 or something like that. £295 ONO I think. Needed some work mind. But running and driving and all that. Exactly the argument I had with a TSSC member a while back. He got really huffy because I remarked that a Standard Atlas camper that was for sale wasn't worth the 4 or 5 grand being asked for it. He'd confused rarity with quality wheras often the reverse is the case. Don't get me wrong, I'd love an Atlas of any body shape, but if I want to pay some kind of scene tax it wont be for a vehicle that was one of the worst vans of its era. |

This thread came along at just the right time - I recently spotted a retro wreck of a van in a garden near me, and I wondered what the hell it is:  It looks totally beyond recall (one of the doors has completely rusted off!) but could yield some rare spares for an enthusiast... |

It's an BMC J2, forerunner of the J4.......one of the later ones with the horizontal grille...the earlier ones had a more elaborate arrangement.
Dammit, this forum is responsible for me coming out of the closet as a total anorak when it comes to cars...... ;D

Ah, thanks for that! Now learning all about them on the Interweb - and looking at some of the wrecks the J2 Club has begun to restore, makes me wonder if this really is beyond help or not...
