G'day doolie, and welcome to the forum! ;D Your van will be from 1969, 70, or maybe 71. The tricky bit is the Viscount Duralvan sticker above the front (and rear) window. The painted "lightning stripe" design on the sides was used on the 1969 and 1970 models, and perhaps a bit into 1971 as well. I've always thought the Duralvan sticker was discontinued when the Royal and Supreme models were introduced in early 1971, but we recently saw another Viscount on the forum that had the Duralvan sticker and it had the next paint design AFTER the lightning stripes. Sometimes I think Viscount's left hand didn't know what its right hand was doing.  Can you tell us what the complete chassis number is, please? I think in 1969 and 70 they were using the letter 'A' followed by some numbers, but in 71 they changed that around to be numbers followed by the letter 'A'. You're a lucky son-of-a-gun to find a van in "mint condition". Look forward to seeing more photos. cheers, Al. |

LOL yes but not alot, but im told the old owner used to polish it every weekend and grease the suspension etc every time he took it out! he even left little notes all over the inside to explain what i should do (although i think it was meant for his son) shame his son didnt even want it  |
