Fair bit of work needed but will be a long term project. I didnt even go there to buy that van, I was looking at another one but ended up buying two! Couldnt leave it there to rust away any more.

Excellent, It looks like it will restore easily enough.
From the few I have seen, and the couple I have owned, they all have had the Silver 850 Speedo.
I can see your van has kick panels on the doors, the van I am in the process of restoring has never had kick panels fitted to the doors, the holes are not there.

There are a few odd things I've noticed. It only has 1 sunvisor also. No holes for another.

Cool. Is the bonnet badge the same or does it have different colours?
Webbing door straps or those metal wire ones?

The bonnet badge is the normal Morris type.
They have the mock leather door straps, the same as the sedan, the wire type was an accessory.

I saw another smooth roof van today and the id tag was on the drivers inner guard. Would that be right? Is the body number supposted to be on the radiator shroud?
