hi 24vtranny

What do you know about the panel van cos I'm trying to findout it's history because the fella I bought it off said something about it having something to do with Dagenham but i never found out what! I bought it from a fella here in Northern Ireland and I've been having fun trying to get it registered because it was never exported from England

Any info would be great Pictures even better!!

hi i sold it to robin walsh,hes a bit of a classic ford dealer in northern ireland,he bought six vehicals of me and i delivered them to a transpoter at bishop stortford services,on the m11 from there they went to n.i. i had the van for about 2 years kept in a locked garage and not used,i was going to restore it,but had to sell it along with my other vans when i came to oz. it was very origional apart from the writing on the back,it was origionally a fire tender in fords dagenham factory,it had large tank and water pump in the back,my brother worked there for 25 years and remembers it,it spent all its life there and didnt go on road, i do have some photos some where,i bought it off the bouncy castle guy,when his business went bust for £300 he bought it unseen at auction from fords and used it for a good few years.when i bought it he offered me the pump and tank but i left them there.hope it gets restored does it still have the small seat in the back,and the siren.

It still has the small seat but no siren altho there are holes in the grill, I guess they were for lights. If you could find the pics I'd be greatful as I now want to restore it to original since it's a part of Ford history. And if your brother can help any, if he remembers how it look and what there was in it that would also be a good help. anything at all email it to me and I'll try my best to bring her back to life as she was. Just one more question was she petrol or diesel originally? Petrol would be more fun
