I've got 16 listed as taxed or SORN on my commercials database which isn't yet finished. My picture database points to there being at least 35 survivors.

They were converted by Torcars of Torrington in Devon. They left the BL factory as standard 10cwt vans.
If you google Torcars you will see they converted other vehicles too
