1967 International C1500 van

 

Does anybody remember the ancient TV show "Dr Kildare" he lived in an International motorhome called "The Whale" it looked like this one but if I remember correctly, it was a lot longer.

No Morris I don't, probably because we didn't have tele, it was only when signal boosters came a long, about the time my kids were little we had a television at home, grannies in town was the only one we got to see. There was quite a few of those vans around our area in various rolls, one school bus, you don't see many now which is a bit odd, being inter they would still be about, they last forever.

ps. TVs annoy the shit out of me to this day, if my wife goes first, I will chuck them both on the tip.

All the ones I've seen in the last 20 years have suffered heavy rust in the bodywork, making them pretty much worthless. Mechanically sound like most Inters, but very poor body design in the van part.

How did they come out of the factory, were they front cowl and chassis and built by a coach builder or were the factory finished.

Think were a van ......I recall the Greenslopes Hospital laundry had an AB150 and an AB130 metro s for many years ..........they must have been getting old for govt vehicles by the late 1970s.

You'll get in trouble.....    electronic waste has to be recycled these days.

You might want to rewrite your post where you said “I’ll throw them both on the tip”. I take it that “both”  means both TVs, no wife and TV.
