Austin/Morris/Morris-Commercial J-type. |

I don' think there was an Austin version of this as it dates from pre BMC days. -- Last edit: 2012-05-26 04:07:12 |

The Austin was called 101 - /vehicles.php?make=Austin&model=101&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on but seems only made after 57 so rarer than the Morris. -- Last edit: 2012-05-26 04:49:49 |

I see some guff about the J here - Link to "www.680mo.org.uk" - hadn't realised it remained in production for so long. Maybe with this example having the advertsing on it it might be able to be traced somewhere. |

The J had a 1476cc sidevalve engine from the MO Oxford with a three speed gearbox, and the JB and 101 had the 1489cc OHV engine from all the first generation BMC B type vehicles. You can't tell the difference from this picture, and the flashing indicator is probably aftermarket. -- Last edit: 2012-05-26 09:05:31 |

I am guessing that chances are it is a Morris? |

This van is actually an Austin 101, from this angle you cant tell the difference, but as we supplied the vehicle I know, the Pinewood logo was stuck on just for the film |

Likely HCT 7 again, a 1953 plate on a 1957+ van. |
