Not the early ones - only after Chrysler took an interest. Bonnie's a '69 and she displays one on her lower front panel near side. The other exception, of course, are those vans with filler up to the windows;)

Good old Yori :) She still has it John.



Glad to hear it - did you get very far this summer?
 
Just to prove John right, here is a picture from the Commer advertising brochure

and there is no beauty spot.
 
Can't tell the year of the brochure, but the van appears to have the later style dashboard, which would be post 1969.

I think the square dash came out in 71, as Harvey has the early dash (early 71) and Gladys has a square dash (late 71). Bonnie is a '69 and she has a beauty spot so the Chrysler interest must pre-date that:)

I don't know about the year but in the photo by the lake
the registration number looks to be MOW 156K. I'm not too
sure of the first 3 letters but she is definitely a K.

Anyone know what colour was the original Pentastar? I see Gold or Silver options on EBay.com (in the USA).

Pretty sure they were plain black on our vans, both of mine are. I do like those pictured though.
 
I can’t see any black options. I’m going to get a gold one, as I think this the type fitted to late series V Sunbeam Alpines. And gold trumps silver!
