It brings back memories for me as I used to work at Morris Commercial in Adley Park, Birmingham. Not on the J-Type but on the J4 Morris van. The J-Type was way before my time ;-)
Aimed at SMALL BUSINESSES and will cost £60,000, that's a shame as I can't see many SMALL BUSINESSES being able to afford £60,000 on ONE van!!! I have watched a few videos on this Morris JE and in everyone, except this video, the only thing that was missing was the selling price. I suppose they want to drum up business before they hit you with the price. I expected a sensible price of around £32,000 but it seems they want to get all the set-up costs back in the first year of production. For £60,000 the roof should be covered in solar panels to top up the battery and extend the mileage, as fully loaded I can't see it covering 250 miles. Think about it with one TON of weight in, it aint going to drag that weight around for 250 miles!!!
They don't care whether or not "many SMALL BUSINESSES" are able to afford it or not. Initial production wouldn't be able to cope with a mass of orders. Its a prestige van, maybe aiming at the market of original J-types on the second hand vintage market today, which are often operated by people selling upmarket goods from their van at showgrounds and events, where the cuteness of it on show adds a sense of luxury to their own brand of whatever. No one is hoping to sell this van to the Post Office buddy, or to deliver King Edwards from the Co-op. You don't appear to have the imagination to understand very much about this project, but I can recognise someone anxious to stick the knife into it for not so obvious reasons......
the most important thing is reaching a price range that is available for the working class. that might be the only thing that have not changed through the years. 60K would be a killer for this car.
The price level is reached by 36 months of payments and then when it`s second hand. But why not put a `cheap` van out there like the Metro, Fiesta Mini van or the Escort van, Marina van for the masses. All 3 seats where possible. Maybe electric windows or AC. But below the 15,000 pounds new.
Electric vehicles used to hold their valuation but now their valuation falls like a stone. If you want to get rid of a spare £60,000 this seems a good way of doing just that. The EV revolution has ended and I think it is due to overpricing, especially in 'Rip-Off Britain'!!! One example is the Citroen Ami £5,000 in France and £8,500 in the UK.
What a well done video.
Wow. Brings back lovely memories.
Tell us more?

Ridiculous a none seller from the start
