Ah Johno the memories

I went to pick up a girl in mine and before I arrived the Dad was sayin "No Bloody way is my daughter goin out in a panel Van"

When I arrived he Just laughed his head of, slapped me on the back and sent me and his daughter on our way with his blessings.

Was a fun little van, with plenty of room for "FUN"

1956 Hillman Husky. 1265cc sidevalve.  It handled well but embarrassingly slow, and no room to do anything!
