Some history on Les's collection
Chris
& Denise Spenceley's 1957 Thames cargovan
And
1961 Airborne camper conversion.
Chris acquired the camper about 1.5
years ago and while tracking down a parts vehicle found the cargo van in NB. The
camper was on the way to the scrap yard and he couldn’t see a rare vehicle like
this go the way of the crusher so he bought it for $100.00
This
modified Thames 800E belongs to Hedley from Victoria, he turned it
into a pick up truck using the box from a Thames E83W, it also tips by a hand
operated hydraulic pump! Hedley worked at the English Ford factory and has had
Thames vans for many years. This vehicle may be available soon, for details
contact Ian Cox.
