Safaris are nice vans. Hope they don´t stand out in the weather all year round

Mine are, more or less, under cover now.

Afraid they do got no choice, the big one is absolutely rotten & needs major woodwork, the front's going to have to come off for that & the little one is useable but getting hard up a bit

Wood frames are a problem when the van gets over 15 years old. That´s why I like fiberglass

I really would like to restore that big van as it's quite rare though I think the little one has much more character

reminds me of the leyland terrier i started my "lorry" driving back in Durham in the 80's it was old then , maybe this was its predecessor ? no power steering then , i liked it but not as fast as modern ones pre- speed limiters

The smaller vans are more usable but there can´t be many of the large one left as you say. Have you got one of these on each van?

The big van has one of those but the little one is a later model & has a thin aluminium one with Cosalt written across the middle instead of the globe.
