  • History: The Vanette 2 door, no floor. There has been a back seat added and the front seat is split to allow access to the back. Windows have also been added to the sides.

    Got this one a few years ago from Stawell. I picked it up at Nhill, left home about 0530 in the morning, got to Nhill about 9-10 loaded up and was back in time to pick up my son from school. It came with a set of Y frames and these were on the roof rack on the car on the trailer.

    This car has an engine number V*********P which from another thread on this site means the number is a Victorian Police issued number. Possibly a brand new engine was fitted at some stage.

    The car is a definite Fred Flintstone car with little floor left and the top missing from the petrol tank.
    This is from Alex's Accessory of the week in the members section.

    "Bailey Motors was a business in Melbourne who specialised in conversions to Panelvans. This included adding windows to vans and also included adding additional doors to convert them into Station Wagons. The quality of their conversions often leaves those that have seen 1 of these vans thinking it was a factory option.
    Ken McLean owned and restored 1 such example which had an extra door added on the passenger side."

    As for the seat. Well, I have not been on that side of the van to find out. I will have to have a look, but as the base is also split I would guess the whole seat tips.
