A35 van FER 453D
Hi, I am hoping that someone may know the whereabouts of my old A35 van reg. FER 453D in Florentine blue. I bought it from the original owner in 1986 and after covering 60,000 miles sold it in 1992 to a chap named Ken Auld of Hildersham near Cambridge who, I believe, has passed away in the meantime. According to DVLA it is SORN at the moment. Please get in touch if you know of it's fate! lancelotsheldrick@btinternet.com or 01353 649777. Many thanks, Lance.

Hi Two years have passed and I still can't find my old van. I have tried to follow one or two leads , but nothing doing. I would love to buy it back again and restore it. Please let me know if you come across it. Lance.

We have an A35 engine & box in our workshop which we are rebuilding for the owner of the unit next door.
I haven't seen the car yet but I know its a '66 van.
Our workshop isn't that far from Cambridge so you never know ..........

Come to think of it, when I owned it, I had fitted a duplex timing chain. Does the engine have this mod?
Re: A35 van FER 453D
Unf I'm sure it had a simplex timing chain, but when I can I'll check the car number.

Lance,
At long last I've seen the van I mentioned 18 months ago.
Its not your old van. The one in our yard is FOA ^&$ D.
EDIT However I see Lance hasn't been on here since Jan 19, so its probably old news.
