Think I'll need to digg up my old miniworlds
Found the copy of the V5 last week. It's first registered october '60. I know about 15 years ago it was the oldest known around back then. Now there some older ones turned up over the past years.

I keep a private record of chassis numbers, engine numbers etc for Early Mini Van and Pick Up and would be pleased if anyone wished to add the details of their Van/Pick Up to the list. I don't need to know names of owners as it is purely a build record that I like to keep

My Van is December 12th 1960, so I think it is around the 5th oldest surviving Van.
