I served my time as an apprentice Mechanic in the sixties.working at a BMC garage ..
As young mechanic we used our parts collection van a Moggy 1000 to get parts and go to breakdowns!!!!!
The things that van had to put up with.. ooo

1/ You could rev it to valve bounce in every gear and make the exhaust go POOOW then change gear.
2/Corner so hard it would go round on 3 wheels . woohoo
3/Change gear with out the clutch ,we destroyed many gearboxes.Lever used to come out in your hand.
4/Get it Air born over the local railway bridge. scared
5/Burn out the brakes and break the half shafts..
Young and foolish..but great fun, far more entertaining than a Mini van
