A 1941 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Motors" class="extiw" title="en:Morris Motors">Morris</a> Z Type 2 (reg. GGY 110) panel van, pictured at the end of the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/2012_HCVS_Tyne-Tees_Run" title="2012 HCVS Tyne-Tees Run">2012 HCVS Tyne-Tees Run</a>, just a month after the completion of its restoration. It's believed to be just one of two surviving Morris Type-2 vans, out of a production run of just 146. Originally a Post Office van, it had apparently lay unused in a poulty farm barn near Edinburgh since it was last used, believed to be 1962 based on its tax disc. Re-discovered in 2009 when the farm was sold, it's been restored by Gardiner's Coach Repairs of Spennymoor, County Durham. They painted in the livery of bus company <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Economic_(bus_company)" title="Category:Economic (bus company)">Economic</a>, as their maintenance department vehicle, to match a 1949 Albion Valiant bus (reg. KUP 789) previously restored by the company (and also present at the rally).
