I drove a 1972 Bedford HA van in the UK from 1979 to about 1983 (when rust got the better of it). Reg: UNM 260K, originally a Gas Board van. i now live in Oz and my neighbour only offers me his old HA that be put up on axle stands some 20 years ago in the shed, due to an electrical fault and fuel getting into the oil. The engine was dismantled and sits in pieces on in workbench and shelving, but the car is complete, even with few spares - like bonnet and boot, glass and lights (from a red deluxe).
The next stage is to extricate her from the shed and explore the condition/check for rust. I see she she is grey with a red interior.
I'd better hurry up and finish off the TVR 390SE project and get started on her.
