1966 ( by the numberplate ) Matchbox had one of these ( although a Morris version ) in blue with BUILDERS Supply Company written on the sides. |

When it's a pickup, it's called Austin 152, and not J2. |

The 'J2' model name was used in both the Austin and Morris versions for all vans, pickups and minibuses in addition to the name '152 Omni' at some time in production. 1956 Austin J2 15cwt 1489cc B-series engine 1961 Austin J2 M16 1622cc plus 1.5 litre diesel ![]() ![]() It was also advertised as "Austin 152 Omni" and this was used for all versions of the van, pickup and minibus as here for some period of time... ![]() sources: http://austin-rover.co.uk/index.htm?lcvpurposef.htm & http://www.austinmemories.com/page49/page49.html For the purposes of IMCDb it is probably better and simpler to use 'J2' throughout for Austin and Morris. -- Last edit: 2008-02-06 16:58:25 |

This has a Morris badge,Morris grille models phased out in sometime in 1965,then Morris badged models had the same grille has Austin models,no exact information when Morris grille phased out,but J2 post telephone vans purchased in 1965 had Morris badges and Austin grilles,hence why think 1965. |

^ 1965 for commonised Austin & Morris J2 grille is consistent with the same year as the Austin S200/T200 etc. & Morris FG vans and trucks commonised grilles. Also 1965 for the commonised grille on the Austin and Morris versions of the J4. -- Last edit: 2019-06-20 19:53:09 |
