Post subject:  Van information
Just purchased a long term project and would like some assistance on its ball part year. The only easy date I could see on the wiper was 11/64. There is a floor starter but couldnt easily see anything on it. Any help from the brains trust would be greatly appreciated.

Its going to need a bit of work but I reckon it will be worth it. Smooth roof van without rear windows. 8)
Thanks Chris

I would say it is at least a 65 model as Ceramic Green was first introduced in 65

Sliding window. The front apron also had the cut outs in front of the wheels.

John Sneddon will probably know as he's researching cars and dates. Try PM'ing him. Also Morris 1100.

The 850 Van type YJBAV1R was made between Feb 64 and April 65.
According to one source they made 3984 of them but going by the numbers they must have made at least 4700 of them.
I think this one is early 65 but I'm only guessing.

This model should have sliding window doors.

So out of interest would it have the later front panel with cut outs from factory

yes, the full front panel was replaced with the cut out type around 1962.

Early smooth roof/Sliding window door 850 vans are quite rare these days, not many have survived.

Thanks for the help guys. This might be an ongoing question thread as there are alot of questions I would like to be answered. Thanks again guys for the help. Looks like Jan 65 from John Sneddons info and Morris1100 said early 65 so must be close.
It does have cut outs on the apron also.

yes, I was wrong, late 64 they changed in the UK, so I would think early 65 here in Aus.

Do you have some more photos of your van please?

Over the weekend when I collect it. Some butcher has cut the front guards off so it needs front end work. A panels rusted and the front floors a bit average.

What sort of speedo would it have? There is no gauge in it. 90mph but what colour back ground?

I think it would probably be the same as a Mini 850. Silver face.

Cool. I think I have one some where!
There was a bonnet badge amongst the parts that had black in the bull logo and lines. What would that be off or is it a custom job?
