Re: Millard what year ?
Looks to me to be mid 70's to mid 80's, design didn't change much in that time frame, compliance plates came in, n the mid 80's (86 I think) so it is before then, the inside did change a little in the 10 years so a couple of inside pictures would help also. Frank

Re: Millard what year ?
we had one like this and was 1973 - inside pics to look at décor might narrow it down

Re: Millard what year ?
Hi,
Your van would be somewhere between 1974 and 1977 build. If I was pressed I would say 1976. from my memory the brown stripes/paint was in vouge back then.

Re: Millard what year ?
Looks like it's been redone inside. What does it say on the rego paper?

Millard were taken over by Viscount in the 80s. Viscount went bust a couple of times and folded in the early 90s. There was a long period before the brand was resurrected. I'm not even sure that the current mob are the ones who resurrected the name.
