WBK 390 1960 Morris JB Type Van

Bought by Lincoln Co-operative Society Ltd on 2 August 1994 and restored by the Transport Department of Lincoln Co-operative Society.

Since being renovated WBK 390 has been to several vintage vehicle shows and was out on public display with the Morris Minor Van from the Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society at the Co-operative Congress held at the Lawns in Lincoln in May 1998. It won first prize in the Mayor's Parade in 1998.

Some younger people associate this type of van as a "Postman Pat" van.

During the 1950's and 1960 Lincoln Co-op Society ran vans like this one. The GPO used them for postal deliveries and various other tradesmen used them for their day to day business. In the 1950 and early 1960's the J type van was a regular sight on our roads just as the Sherpa and Transit vans are today.

October 2004 - This van has passed its MOT test.

October 2005 - This vehicle has left the museum to have work carried out to the body etc, ready for its MOT.
