The BDs History - part 3


The van was purchased by Oslo Lysverker in September 2009 and served as a utility vehicle until 1962 in the same company. Then the van had 3 or more owners until it was parked in 1965. I can tell it had some surgery at some point, and my guess is that it was already very rusty in 1962 when it was sourced out of Oslo Lysverker. The frame has been welded, and some of it even repaired with body filler, yes(!) the frame. The engine support has also been changed at some point. But the body is remarkable straight, given that the car has spent almost 10 years in the city of Oslo as a everyday work horse. The picture shows the headquarter of Oslo Lysverker, with a yellow barndoor and some beetles parked out side. Seems to be be mid sixties?
