Austin 12 Van Full Restoration

This rare commercial was originally a farm vehicle that belonged to the client’s father.

Barn-stored for over half a century, she wanted it sympathetically restored, preserving the original patina as she remembered it from her childhood.

A complete engine rebuild was necessary and the entire floor and rear panelling were replaced, then varnished and painted to look “of the period.”

The seats were re-upholstered, the vinyl roofs replaced and the exterior wiped over with linseed oil.

She now hugely enjoys taking it to local shows, where it always attracts attention.
