J4 Van I bought from a guy in the pub in 1982 for £25 to move house with.
It was like driving a boat and had to stop and bleed the clutch ever so often

I used to buy Ital vans at Kinross market for work as they were cheap and reliable if my memory serves they were around £400.
Also on the plywood panel was a little first aid kit in a little black box.......Happy days?
