Thanks, Joe! That's great. More would be better That's a great find, it looks in really good condition considering it's in daily use. In our damp climate most of them had died by 1970!

Dev One. The Devon saloon was replaced by the Somerset in '52 but the van retained the Devon bodywork up to '57.

I don't think the blobby looks of the Somerset would suit the van - they look better as they are.

Did anyone notice the name on the side of the van?

Looks in good nick Joe...the only thing missing is the front number plate

Unbelievably, some states don't require license plates (tags in Colonial speak) on the front of the vehicle. I am sure Joe can tell us if that is the case in Florida.

Joe, thanks for sharing pictures and thanks to Ian for the vid - amazing shape for something that old. Sigh! Wish I could say the same about myself!

Hi Nig... you're welcome

No front plate required in Florida.
