VANGUARD 1/43 MORRIS 1000 VAN CURRYS

Although the post war Morris Minor design was of unitary construction the commercial variants had a seperate chassis behind the front passenger cabin, which enabled a massive variety of bodies to be fitted. Announced in May 1953 it was known as the LCV and were originally built at the Morris' Cowley factory but production was transferred in 1964 to the old Wolsely works at Adderley Park in Birmingham and remained there until the range was discontinued in late 1971

During the 1950's/60's Currys became the first UK agents for the IGNIS fridge/freezer company. The Currys high top van was converted by Marshall Motor Bodies, a division of the Marshall Group to accommodate the stand up fridge/freezer.
