I have a 58 FC Van that was converted to a Vanett when new by fitting side rear wagon windows & sliding windows where the rear seat would be fitted . I would be interested in contacting any one else who may have the same or knowing any details on numbers converted and how many still exist.
Mine is origial un restored mint green with green interia, But requiring restoring.

G'day Rob...
I don't know if there is any way of knowing how many FE/FCs were converted to Vanetts. As I understand it, the conversion to vanett was something was able to be carried out at any number of workshops. A number of different places did them and I believe there were variations of the actual conversion, including the shape and size of the windows inserted. I saw one a few years ago at Loftus (Syd, NSW). The bloke was interested in selling it for $1,500. It needed restoring, and the colour was a non-original brown. Wish I'd bought it..... Good luck with yours......

Hi Rob.
Here in Sydney, there was a company called Canopy Industries that did many a vanette conversion as you have described. Check the sliding window for their name etched into the glass to see if yours is one done by them. They also produced a fold down seat that went into the cargo area of vans and utes. I owned a similar van with a CI conversion which I recently passed on to a fellow club member. Still a project with a long way to go.
Regards
Alex
