My father and me had 6 of these CA vans in the 1960s for our business. I remember driving down the A1 on a sunny day with drivers door hooked back and no seat belt!! Not sure that the anti corrosion measures worked too well.

Great to see the adverts for Salthouses (motors) Ltd. Salthouses was owned by my grandad and his brother and I had never seen these adverts before.
