» Classic Company Vehicles

A 1935 Morris 8.5 cwt van of the type which Durtnell used to run immediately before and during the war years is now a proud member of the Durtnell fleet.

The veteran vehicle was acquired in 2001 from a private collector and has been thoroughly overhauled and sign written in the company livery of the time, using old photographs from the company archives for authenticity.

The Morris is now a regularly entrant at classic car rallies and events and completed the London to Brighton run in 2003, 2004 and 2005 – average speed in the region of 25 m.p.h!
