G'day blue v
I think this is great looking van, & wouldn't be surprised if it gets an up there price.
Im just guessing it might've started life without stripes, being white & not wanting to attract attention.

Just out of interest, a bloke here just before Xmas bought a red HJ (non-orig 253, 4sp) but clean & tidy in the body etc. that was at 782 motors, they wanted 120k & after a few phone calls, they offered for 100. He counter offered, & got it a bit below that.

Cheers
Max
