Hey,
nursmini's `Jeremiah' the Clubby van (3/1977) has a metal Leyland Oz badge each side, up top of B pillar. Should these be there on late vans, or has a PO stuck them on..??

I've never seen them there but that doesn't mean they weren't put there by someone in the factory , we know how Leylands quality control and consistency records were ....

Doc I had a PMG Cluvvy van and it didn't have those badges.

I was of the opinion that the little sqare Leyland Australia badges were placed on the A panels of 'Mini Clubman' s. When they went to 'Leyland Mini' the little sqauare badges disappeared.

The A pillar is the one that holds the windscreen , the B pillar is behind the door and the C pillar is the one in front of the rear windscreen . Just the names given to them to generalise all cars for mechanics and panel beaters to know what they're describing .
