Found in a paddock

Hi Stuart / Rick

Thanks for the updates, yep the photo looks just like the inside of the old van I saw, it was even still painted White on the inside. I gree with the earlier comments, could have made a good camper.

Hi Ryan

The body is still sitting in the paddock. I saw it a few weeks ago and it is a shame it is deteriorating after all those years in the paddock.

Cheers

These bodies appear identical to those built for the British army in 1950's. They were fitted to the Bedford RL FV13110, the body was designed to suit all foreseeable War Office Signals and REME machinery installation requirements at that time. Body builder was Marshalls of Cambridge. It is possible that these used in Australia were built locally to the FVRDE design.

Here is a photo from a FVRDE publication of 1956 showing the body I described in a previous post, even had double doors in rear.
