I
attach a couple of shots of an Atlas that Brian Birch and I
rescued last Sunday. A chap from the Morris J2 register told
me about it at the NEC show. It is a 1959 Atlas with Kenex 9
seater minibus conversion.

The
Atlas is unloaded outside Brian Birch's house just as it
gets dark.

It
had one owner, a Worcester GP, Dr Margaret Norton, who is now
almost 90. She bought it as a fifties 'people mover' to take
her extended family on daytrips and holidays. It was last used
in 1983, but has done only 12000 miles! It is very solid and
original, and Brian Birch is going to keep it that way. It
even came with a brand new gearbox and rear axle, which Dr
Norton bought when a local garage disposed of its Standard
parts. It was originally beige, but was painted blue many
years ago.
