    I need an E494C van in Malaysia

    Yes in Malaysia! We are restoring a building to tell the tale of an international company that first started in an upstairs room of the building. This is a non profit, free exhibition. The old man worked for 10 years before he could afford anything other than a bicycle. But eventually he bought an E494C panel van beautifully painted with his product advertising. This is what we want to recreate.

    If you have one for sale or know of anyone who is prepared to sell, please let me know. We can arrange shipping etc.

    Thank you.

    For any one who does not recognise the term E494C it is the revised Ford Anglia which was turned into the E494C Van from 1948 to 1954.

    Yes, Anglia, extremely rare in US, most were turned into dragsters and street rods, maybe find one in a former UK Empire country like Australia, India, NZ, etc??  Here's a couple for sale in New Zealand...

    Anglias  in these years were imported  to the usa in  1947 up by ford!! I owned a 47model -very popular in drags  . in 60's too!  These are still sold on ebay- the 1/4 ton panel delievery & the 2 door models (cars) still show up on there!!  Panels were under the name  "thames" (TIMS) -like the river in england & the cars were named  Anglia's brand. heres some now avail!!!!!!!!!!!!! always on ebay!!! most people do not know the differences in names & usually all call them =ANGLIA'S!!

    Thank you both for the links. The one of main interest was the one in New Zealand, but I could not find a way to contact the owner to see if it is still for sale. Nonetheless, thank you both for responding and I notr your advice. I am in contact with both UK and Australia but no leads yet. I do not give up easily!

    Thanks for your reply. I do realise that I am looking for a needle in a haystack, but in out case this has to be the van version as we do not have the ability to convert car to van in Malaysia, although we could restore a van.

    By the way, so far this is the only forum I am on where I actually get replies. Thank you for that and I live in hope that the next reply will bring me what I want.
