WHAT A GREAT ARTICLE on classic van adverts (CM 20 September). Please consider doing some more in the future and also maybe some truck ones.
In regards to the Jennings of Sandbach advert, you ask the question, whose chassis is it?
May I answer this by saying it’s an Austin. I also believe this model was replaced in the late 50s by the LD. There was a lighter J type which gave way to the J2 and J4.
The model you have featured also had an upturned horseshoeshaped slatted grille.
Some were built for the banks as armoured security vans. Badge engineering by Austin/Morris occurred on the Mini Minor and the J2/J4 and the LD.
