Re: Wobland Spottage
In their original guise these things were one of the most unpleasant vans to travel in. 5 years ago I drove more than 200 miles in one and the Bedford CA van I took even further was a much better proposition as well as being a more usable shape. Being impractical and as ugly as a wart hasn't hampered Juke sales though.

Re: Wobland Spottage
By reading the blurb it seems to be aimed at the hipster, PR firm, coffee van etc. market.
At 60k they're welcome to it in my view.

Yep-if you can afford a tenner or whatever for a bowl of cereal at a hipster cafe then this is a bargain.

Re: Wobland Spottage
I just feel that this should have stayed dead, the same way that the MG badge should have.
Unless you can produce something worthy of it, like Bentley, it's just slapping a badge onto something that bears no relation to it.

And an incorrect badge....J vans were badged as Morris, not Morris Commercial which were the heavier range.

I love this place. The depth of arcane,possibly useless, but very important information is truly impressive.

If they can find 1500 lunatics a year to buy this as a UK produced vehicle then good luck to them. I have to admit to badge inaccuracy on my part too, the one I drove was an Austin 101mercrocker wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 9:00 amchadders wrote:

Unlikely placement of the phone box betrays this cosy TV drama location. I suspect the sight of this actual van beetling across people's screens is what made the replica a viable proposition.
