1970 | Arrived on SVR |
The van was awaiting scrapping at Barry in 1970 when purchased by an SVR member. It was initially used as a stores van. A planned cosmetic tidy-up in 1989 became an overhaul when inspection revealed that the roof canvas, roof edge planks, all side louvres and several door planks required replacement.[2] It received a further repaint in 2002[3] and repairs to the roof canvas in 2008.[4]
It is photographed at Bewdley.
