Type 3 Panel Vans are very rare...
I believe they were only made in Australia....
I've been looking thru books for information, but haven't come across any yet....
I've only seen early model [up to 1969] type 3 Panel Vans....
Best of Luck with Your search....
They are about somewhere..... Maybe they were knocked around, as working vehicles and have all ended up at wreckers.... I hope not...

I think Lee is right, Australia only for these beauties. They were quite neat and a full steel panel in the load area right to the front seat.
Import Advantage (now Imparts) used one as their delivery vehicle in Brissy for years. It's still around some where and still in good nick I think.

One of the Smith brothers from Bulli has one!

There is a mint one in Adelaide. It's black with BRM's and a injected 21?? and seriously on of the best cars I have ever seen. I have spoke to the guy who paintind it trying to get him to do mine but very $$$$. It was meant to have had big dollars spent on it and all the panels are nos. They have wooden slats that run down the back inside. I know a guy who knows a guy who has one but took the panels out and replaced them with windows. Aparently I could get my hands on them to make a set on pressings from but then you would be sitting in the back seat looking out at the back of a steal plate.
I wish it would come out to the shows a little more often. I have only seen it once and that was when my friend was doing the injection manifolds on it. There is a Callook cruise coming up and there's rumor it might be coming out...if so I am definately taking some photos.
I think it was and the easter nats a few years ago. Resto64 might have some pics of it somewhere!

If you come across any of the panel squarebacks, please see if you can let the owners know about the Type 3 Registry, and if they could enter their cars. We don't have any in the Registry yet.
Thanks,

mattie 路
i remember that photo that was the cars first outing and he blew the manifold clean open twas the biggest bang ive ever heard him and his hate bought this one and another from a guy who lived at gawler!
what a find!
empi 路
There are a few panels floatin around melbourne.
I think the one pyro saw is a fake as its a late model one and i dont think they made em late.
Have seen a few sets of panel inserts too very easy to make a normal square into one.

What abou this one Matara (steve) was selling a while back. I went and looked at it. Very sweet indeed. I ummed and arrhed about it and he decided to keep it. Should have just paid the cash and taken it in his time of weakness.Had windows etc cut into it but was bloody clean rust wise. I think that Aaron guy in SA that owns the black one above eventually got it off him.

Has anyone got a contact for Aaron Britcher? Been ages since I've been in contact with him. Anyone know where he is now.... I bought stuff off him years ago and the last time I saw him was at the Nats when he brought the Panel van up....about 2 or 3 years ago!!!!

I think they mean the type 3 registry in the states.
Its pretty good, they dude runnign ti is bending over backwards to accommodate our cars. He spent over two or three weeks looking for the right colours for Antartic White and our Moss Green (I think that Dave Birchall helped him out in the end). I never realised Aust Type 3's were different from the rest of them. http://www.jennerality.com/reg_main.html
thats the link,

i think matara used to have one.. not sure if it was original or not.
