Holland Coachcraft body of Scotland

I'm trying to find more information about these vans, ideally I'd like to find one in the flesh, there is very little on the web about them. Anybody got any leads? Many thanks.



Link fixed. Apologies.

There was even a Dinky toy one:

I collect these. Don't suppose you have the model number written on the bottom have you?

Still not found any more info on them. Collars of Twickenham had a small army of them, you'd expect someone out there must have one, even if it's rotting away in a barn I need to find it!

Sorry to ask a dense question, are you looking for the Dinky model number or the original vehicle model number? The Dinky is model number 31, and I read somewhere the real van was based on an Albion BL119 chassis, although as coach built I am sure there would have been numerous alternative chassis used.

My question was directed at the dinky model number. The real model number would be handy but the details you've provided for the albion chassis looks like a good place to start! Thanks! I nearly spat out my tea when I saw the valuation for a boxed Dinky 31! If you can find one! Many thanks.

High what do you want to know iv got alot of original designs and info as my great great grandfather owned the company

Fantastic! I'd completely forgotten about this thread! Do you have any technical drawings of chassis and coach work at all? I still think about this van regularly. Id love to have a crack at building a homage!

Wow, absolutely stunning. Glad to see there's a survivor!

Just an archive photo I think?

Looked too crisp to be an old photo at a glance. Gutted!
