Very nice, but are you sure it's a 66 mate? The front grille and back door handle says later.

Door handle is twisted the wrong way but that's a later grille and full Amber indicators for sure, looks great though whatever it is

When I bought it was no rear door handles, so I put a improvise one. Currently looking for original handle of the back door, so if someone has it let me know.
As for the production year, I looked at the number of chassis and it's say that van is made (probably) in Southampton or in Genk, Belgium 1966. in month of June. Engine type 1500 1.7 L. I need to look at exactly where I found this information.
Front grille is from 1971 I think, after a facelift. Correct me if I'm wrong.
We have made some modifications, for example the back and rear extra steps for easier entry, in front we put extra lights... Now we need to edit the interior, and if someone has the electric scheme I would be grateful to send me until it arrives workshop manual.

Thank you very much for quick answer. My van is also from fire van, but man from I buy van are added some more wirings the sirens, additional lights and so one. Probably isn't all originally, and so the van caught fire a few days ago and I need change full electricity in van.

Having blown up the pic of the back door, I can see there's been some damage and the handle isn't transit. The early back door handle goes across the other door when they are shut. It could be somebody 'updated' the front end. The big indication is the pedals. The early ones come up through the floor, later ones are pendant.

Fred, can you once again say what did you thought that "The big indication is the pedals. The early ones come up through the floor, later ones are pendant." I did not understand, sorry I found half a year ago another van in Croatia, and I bought it. Unfortunately, there is no engine, but is good for sheet metal parts. I'm changing all the doors and windshield to my van. Front grille on that van is orginal I think, or? Here is some pics If you think that this discussion isn't for htis part of forum, free to switch topic.

This is the best place for this topic That is the early grille on the van with the truck. The early brake and clutch pedals come up through the floor, through their own hole in the floor. The later pedals come down from under the dash board.
