Friend Chris's restored van, Believed to be an RL type but is possibly an RL saloon based special as the rear has a roller cover over a drop-down tailgate. History of the van is still being researched by the owner.
Replacing the now extinct RK Van in 1930, the standard RL van has twin rear doors with small windows at the top and is one of the less common commercial vehicle survivors from the Austin Seven stable with fewer than 10 RL vans recorded so far from a 2 year production run of about 120. Even rarer the RM van from later in 1931 could be supplied with a different door arrangement, one being known with a single rear door. Only 4 survivors from a run of about 1100 are recorded showing like may commercial vehicles that they had a hard working life. By November 1931 the long chassis RN van was introduced having much more load space for the small businessman.
