The entire 999 indices of "KGO" were allocated to the Post Office, and used between December 1948 and October 1951, these dates would fit the Y series van better, research indicates build stopped in 1949. Using impeccable logic, Morris replaced the Y series with the J type. -- Last edit: 2016-07-05 13:42:41
