none were actually vans..the van bodies were made and mounted (not very well!!) on chopped up pick ups, by the props dept at a cost of about £20,000 a time.....none were road legal,and could not carry any great weight as they were only built as static props......some of the people who bid on these on e bay cancelled bids when they actually went to see the items!!! as they thought they were bidding on actual period vans....none sold. |

so should it change to 1974 model? -- Last edit: 2014-07-10 17:54:04 (antp) |

If 1974 is possible for that model, I guess so, but I do not know if that info from the auction is reliable (and if it applies to all vans) |

These were made until 1975 for the home market, and were still manufactured for a few years after that for export markets. |

The only one or two of those seen full length look to me to be built on the J2 or J3S 143" wheelbase rather than on the J1 20/25cwt light truck and delivery van chassis 119" wheelbase. They also have the J2 or above wheels, not J1 (although easily changed). The wheelbase looks longer to me than here... http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p261678778/h2fa1ee2d#h2640d89f http://ccmv.aecsouthall.co.uk/p261678778/h2fa1ee2d#h5373ea5 Externally, I believe there is nothing to distinguish an early from a later model. The bodies may well be studio mockups or twin wheels added to a J1 based body design since the rear wheel arches do not cover the wheels. 1959 onwards J-type introduced September 1958 probably J2 or J3S I believe. -- Last edit: 2014-07-11 12:35:04 |

How can such tiny people like the oompa-loompas drive trucks as big as these? |

Maybe they're using the same trick Komoe-Sensei from the Toaru series is using, although her car is a kei car and not a truck  https://youtu.be/9xzpc2lOS0w?t=183 -- Last edit: 2021-08-21 08:42:03 |

It requires three personnel. One stands on the driver’s seat to steer, one on the floor to operate the pedals, and one standing on the engine cover to change gear. |
