Nice original van then, at least you know it had a good life in 17


Pop-rivets aside...

It hasn't spent all it's life in 17 - <whatever>XN17 seems to be from 2004. http://plaque.free.fr/f_tab20.html

Don't know where it was before that.

Yes that would indicate it changed departments at the back end of 2003. Might not have been far though, most cars didn't travel too far from their place of first registration before the advent of Ebay and Leboncoin.

Looks like the old ones are good. The main section with the rollers is not only intact but clean and shiny. I went over the part that stays in the arm with some brake cleaner and kitchen roll, then a finger. Can't feel anything but smooth and even metal. All four of 'em.

A good clean up, plenty of fresh grease, and it's all going together as was.
