Paul,

Yes, Bart Vanderveen was the first to document this type of CMP.

Now, who is going to unearth the manufacturing drawings for this body?!?!

What would be the chances that the two concerns named at the bottom of:-

would still have "historical" documents?

Hanno, you know that I recently bought a Chev C8. A few months before that I did a search for leads to Stewert&Ardern as well as Mulliner in a quest for information about the van bodies. Which was before I realised only Ford Cab 12's were used, no chev's and no cab 11's.
Stewart & Ardern were later involved with Morris cars and made customized mini's after the war. The only current lead I found, was an involvement in sale of Land Rovers. H.J.Mulliner seems to be more involved in coachbuilt luxery saloons like Bentleys and Rolls Royce and was later taken over by Rolls Royce. The company probably still exists in some form within the BMW company.

Keith, does the vehicle mastership, give any details of the interior of these vans?
The pictures in this thread should give a pretty good measurement of the body.

From memory no, the only interior pics are the ones looking forward at the driver unfortunately.
