Model information
Bay Window Panel Van and Type 2 Bay Window
Info
Sent into us by Aidan Brosnan, these photos show a sad looking Bay Window Panel Van. A rare beast in any language but to have an original Irish Bay Window Panel Van is very rare indeed.
This Panel Van needed a lot of work to put it back to where it once was, and that’s only going by the photos which means it’s probably worse in reality. Having said that, we’ve seen worse being brought back to life.
It looks like the bottom 6″ have seen some previous rust repairs which would be normal for a van of this age but what it’s telling us is that once you open up those repairs, you’re into a lot of welding.
Was it saved? Aidan doesn’t know for sure so if you know let us know and we can update this census.
