This one was for sale on ebay back in mid March this year.  It has a red motor amongst other things.

Looks like an FE with FC front blinkers to me.  Also says its '57.

I can confirm it is an FE. Or at least it has an FE ID plate.

Was that a factory option ( like the three door) or an after market mod? I take it, it didn't sell in march then. Is it listed for the same price and has anyone flesh?   

[mcl1959]

It is not a factory option, neither is the 3 door conversion. These were done by motor body builders such as Baileys in Melbourne. Check out accessory of the month thread for details.

Can't find the accessory of the month thread . Is that part of the members log in section? I gather, there s no way so saying how many vans got conversion then. Do you think -  that it lowers the value, seen that its not a factory option or makes it more a collectable?   :-\

[mcl1959]

I think the trend is more to windowless vans as being more desireable. The 3 door versions would command a similar figure because they are rare, but there are plenty of vans with side window and rear seat conversions around so they are worth a little less in my opinion.

For the record i have a fe van with no headboard behind the rear seat it also has seat mounts on rear wheel tubs
one fc van with window conversion and one without windows but no vents but the next one has the vents
Might have to change my name to fatvan

OK, so who bought it then?  It looks like someone who will do the right thing by it - "Holden59"

I'm just curious,

I bought it, but only just by the look of it. I'll do the right thing by her. I've got to sell some of my other projects but- well, that what i told the wife...anyway. ;D
