The first one on ebay I noticed sold before we'd had a chance to look at it, and then we went to the Cheffins vintage sale to bid on a beautiful Fowler van - but I couldn't get my hand in the air as it sold for so much.
And then this poor thing appeared on ebay
The side left exposed hadn't suffered too much but the side in the hedge was rotten all the way through.
The majority of the chassis had stayed dry
What I presume are artillery wheels have replaced the original cast wheels
And the interior and exterior had been painted and played with to hide the vans original purpose
