Re: Just a nice period picture
Early van out in the snow. I wonder what happened to it?
It went camping after having side windows fitted.
It toured Europe
It gained some roof windows and a flip front
It went out in the snow again
and in the end it got too rusty so donated it's mechanicals to a home built special

Re: Just a nice period picture
Great sets of pics Stu, nice story line too. I think me laddo is photographing an Alfa 2600 Sprint Zagato on his European jaunt.
Edit - just noticed the aftermarket dash and door pocket cushions in the second pic down.

Re: Just a nice period picture
No. It looks a bit crap doesn't it. Still, a good way of saving all the good mechanicals from a rusty Minivan back then

The Jetstar N3L was owned by Cameron Iron, and sometimes visited Heathrow, as here. It was later converted to twin TFE731 engines, much quieter and less thirsty. Sorry no car content, biz jet geek here...

Re: Just a nice period picture
Bit random, but completely get it, this must of been before the high perimeter fence ?
Dad used to take us up to Heathrow and park on the perimeter road next to the runway to watch the planes coming in.
