G'day Donna, The van does look a bit like a Viscount Ambassador, ay?, but I have a hunch it is an Escort van, made in the early 1970s. There is something about the painted design on the sides that makes me think it's more Escort than Viscount. I seem to remember the Escorts got a chassis number starting with E as well (which only confuses with the Viscount Ambassadors that got an E  ). I don't think the Escort brand lasted much beyond the early '70s, because I've not yet seen one with the wind-out windows. I don't have any info in our Museum section on the Escorts yet, but the earlier history of them can be seen in the Vintage caravan forum history section. cheers, Al. |

Hi Al and Donna,the van is definately a Viscount.Those little Viscounts had those small skinny windows as standard back then,the width was only 6.6ft wide too.Looks like someone has added a few extras and a bit of personal paint design.
A true baby van!
Cheers

, If it is a Viscount it would seem to be a 1975 model but I don't know what the E stands for in the vehicle number. I have 2 Royals, one a 1973 and the other a 1974 and their numbers start with R3 and R4; R3 for the '73 one and R4 for the '74 one. Cheers, Ross.
