Yeah, it's a word alright! A cruel one but a word nevertheless. J

I'm sure the commercial variants, like the Traveller, carried on till 71, with both Morris and Austin versions available in van or pick up form till the plug was finally pulled.
As for remedials, I far prefer them to crossplies!

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
They did indeed and that is definitely a '71 (December 1971 to be strictly accurate so REALLY late)

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
The last Travellers were built in early 1971 (Mine is one of them and is recognisable by it's steering lock, if not the laminated wood, that has been replaced) and the LCVs went on until 1972 (I'm not sure if the Post Office was the last customer), also at Adderly Park. I think the last LCVs were badged Austin. There were some dealer assembled cars built after production ceased.

Now you've done it. We are going to have to club together to get John a new keyboard as his one will be full of drool

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
That's absolutely effing gorgeous!
My own efforts pale away by comparison; a metallic green MK1 Golf 1500 GLS on a '78/'79 T plate. Nice enough and becoming quite unusual to find in the wild, unmodified and looking straight. I was feeding Diesel fuel to my newer example and almost splashed my foot as I was distracted by the passing MK1 just as the crucial moment neared.
I'd swap any of the things I've done today for a chance to see a 4 in the wild and to have time/be in the right place to get a photo of it. I'm envious of that sighting!

This was taken at my local Lidl. The driver was an older gentleman who could well have owned it for some time, the registration is local too. If I see it again I could always ask if he would consider selling?

Re: What classic vehicles have you seen?
I couldn't bring myself to chop such a straight looking 4 by modifying it to take the R5 automatic gearbox that it would need for me. Nope, that one must stay exactly as it is. If anyone cuts that one up I'll come down the road and thump them myself! 
And I already own (>/= 5) (+/- 4) older cars that I'm not allowed to drive but you know how it is when they look at you with those big, sad sealed beams and you just know that you can give them a dry place to live.....
