Austin 152 and Morris J2 Vans

Launched in 1956, the J2/152 range was a 15cwt goods vehicle with unitary construction and a 1498cc B-series engine. In 1961 the larger 1622cc B-series engine was given. The Austin version was also called the 'Omni', and there were Omnivans, Omnitrucks (pickup), Omincoach (minibus). Fully revised in 1967, the model was relaunched as the JU250 in 1967 with either Austin or Morris badges on. The 'JU' stood for underfloor engine and the block was canted at 45degrees to keep it under the floor. The bonneted design of the JU250 was safety regulations. From 1970 it was sold as the Austin Morris JU250 and sold until the Sherpa took sales away in 1974.
