This brings the memories flooding back. Nostalgia in bucket loads. My aunt and uncle had one in Damask Red. Swapped their moggy thou traveller for it and drove it back from Devon to Durham, at running in speeds! They travelled all over France, Spain/Portugal and Ireland in it. Once being 'arrested ' by Spanish military police for picnicking in an unauthorised military (but very picturesque) area . The A60 never missed a beat! I miss them, lovely folks....real characters. The A60 was too.

What a wonderful old thing. A pal had one - it was lamentably slow but it didn’t matter. The character more than compensated.

Lovely looking vehicle,50s styling into the 1970s and I love a column change. Learned on dad's 1965 3-speed Victor 101. Didn't stop there either,since driven a '79 Toyota Hiace and an '87 Bedford Midi with 4-speed on the tree although the midi's linkage seized and I did 12 miles with only 3rd and reverse!

We had a fruit & veg man in Cheshire who used to deliver in our street in the 70s, his was a little grey one he always started it with a cranking handle and it used to purrr like a kitten. (where have the good old days gone)? It was little one the same as the one fuz is in if I remember right we called them a pig van as the police had them in the 60s.

We had a K reg A60 van as a police beat vehicle. We called it the Blue Bullet cos you could get 80 out of it. Just don’t touch the brakes or you went back the way you came. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The very FIRST Motor I drove on the roads (With Insurance ;-) was a 'Morris' Half-Ton Van - (VMO 592H) - (Same as Your Camper) - Bought Brand New in 1968 from Henly's in Maidenhead for My Step-Dad and Me by My Mum who had just got her insurance through for being Run-Over !! .... We were Plasterers and needed a Good Van - It was like a TARDIS inside - Fitted a Boat-Load of gear (No Trouble) - Would do 90MPH as easy as Pie - So can't work out why Yours is a Creeper 😒... And to My Step-Dad's despair!! (Fingers GRIPPING The SEAT at all times) it often DID 🙂😂🤣😂 ... Was a Super-Dooper Van .... Would love another, but prices have gone a bit Stratospheric 😒

Column change is referred to as “three on the tree” on cars in the States.

This was four speed so 4 on the tree,Isuppose. Three speed column changes were known as 3 on the tree in the UK also.

Whilst a wonderful vehicle, it was desperately dated in 1972. It makes a Hillman Avenger look like a futuristic sports car.

IT'S based on the old austin cambridge which had been replaced 14 years earlier by the pinifarinas but for some reason BMC/BLMC kept the tooling alive for use in their van division & kept using this obsolete design ( & others ) until the early 70's where they could often be badged as either as Morris or Austin.

Always fancied one of these car-derived campers since I was offered a Bedford Beagle Dormobile many moons ago; unfortunately, it wasn't a cool car for a teenager. I went for a Morris Traveller instead because it had the cute factor. I'd have that today in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the column change - after my Morris Traveller succumbed to wet rot I bought a Vauxhall Victor FD with column change and bench seat - nothing but grief from the gear linkages, so I had it converted to a floor change and managed to keep the bench seat! That said, I like that little Morris a lot, even those drooping headlamp peaks are almost forgivable on that.

I would take her further than just the runcorn roundabouts and I bet she would give me more than a 8 out of 10

Regarding your comments about the gear selector. My first car, a 1962 Hillman Minx cabriolet, had such a gear selector on the steering column. A friend who owned a 1962 Sunbeam Rapier (coupe) had a lever sticking out of the floor. Both were Audax designs. This was in Canada, which featured a mix of American and British cars, but with the latter gradually losing favour. These were replaced with European and Japanese imports. Most American cars with manual transmissions, at least from the 1940s onwards, had levers attached to the steering column. They were often referred to as "three on the tree" in contrast to "four on the floor." American sedans/ saloons at the time were so powerful they did not need a fourth gear! There were exceptions, especially on more performance oriented vehicles.
@charliemaguire2210
@charliemaguire2210 2 года назад
column change was a necessity for bench style front seats which as rightly said was largely an American style import, but these started to go out of favour by around the early mid 60's but were very common on the large Consul range

Some of my dad's mates actually preferred 'Three on the Tree' to 'Four on the Floor' because it made you drive in a more leisurely, therefore more economical manner. To us young'uns this was 'Boring Old Fart' stuff at the time. Now I'm in my seventies I can appreciate the logic, especially with today's current fuel prices.

Pack the pots away, getting whacked by a cast iron skillet in the back of head during hard braking might upset your equilibrium and your driving!

It' an 'L' reg meaning it was registered on or after August 1972 up to July 1973. The van body was based on the 1957 model Austin A55. I have one of each.
