    A good majority only had a single side panel glass. This allowed for advertising.
    This one shows 3 windows. None are the supposed factory style.

    I don't 100% know if this even the same Van it is possibly two different cars?

    The ex NRMA one I had, had 4 x windows, but alas it was a $100 special bought only to drive around the 10 acres I lived on to collect firewood and thus I took no photos and didn't care! It was rust free too except for the bottoms of the rear quarters where it had sat and got water in them. It was the 90's and no-one wanted vans, hence why they were so cheap.

    A bit off topic, but here's a couple more NRMA vans; they often had two windows on the left & only one on the right rear.

    Only found the rear two glasses. They are 10 7/8 inches high (about 278 mm) and 29 5/8 inches long (along the centre line).

    I hope this helps .. john

    Front windows
    10 7/8" x 25 1/8" ........ 278mm x 637mm


    Rear windows
    10 7/8" x 29 5/8" ....... 278mm x 753mm


    they vary in measurement by about 1/8" or 2 to 3mm. This appears to be due to the curving of the glass.

    Yeah looks like we have a winner. All seem to be either late '73 or '74 builds.
    Now we need to find out what plant or plants were doing them. Brisbane seems to be locked in as 100% for sure.

    There was really only 2 x body plants building vans: Elizabeth and Acacia Ridge. Pagewood did them for 12 months only from about 3/73 to about 3/74. For the rest of HQ and HJ-HZ it was just the 2 x body plants doing van bodies until Acacia Ridge closed.
