Hello.
I wonder if anyone has ever come across anything like this before or has any info on it.
I have an early bay tailgate. I got this from an 'H' or 'J' reg van maybe 25 years ago. It was in a scrap yard near Alton, Hampshire.
The van had a large dent in the roof which had also damaged much of the near side too.
If you look at the images of the tailgate, you'll obviously see the crossbar in the window area, making two, small windows. This looks to have been produced from a door 'blank' since there are no obvious signs of welding inside or out.
The rest of the van had similar windows on both sides, including sliding door, but not the drivers or passenger door (or windscreen) which were standard.
I wish I'd taken a photo of it at the time as it was most unusual. I've not seen anything like it before or since.
It also has a church key type lock connected to a horizontal bar that locked into the body of the var on either side.
Any ideas?
Obviously the tailgate has seen better days now but really just needs a needs bottom grafting on but does seem worth saving.
I intended to fit it to my 1969 dormobile but have since sold the camper so not sure whether to keep it / fix it / sell it??
Any thoughts gratefully received? Thanks in advance.
