Classic Motor Show 2026 🎉

The Register is returning to the UK’s biggest indoor car show – Birmingham’s NEC, 13-15 November 2026.

Over 3,000 classics, 320 clubs, live stages, the UK’s biggest indoor autojumble and 500 cars going under the hammer.  November can’t come soon enough!

This year’s show theme is “Debutant”, so we’re aiming to showcase vans that haven’t been seen at the show before. It does make it a little trickier to organise for us, but it’ll be a fabulous thing to achieve.

If you have a van that you think would be suitable please get in touch via jtypevan@gmail.com – we’d love to hear from you! 🙂 

A van would need to be at the NEC from Thursday 12th Nov until Sunday 15th, but vehicles can remain on the stand until noon on Monday 16th. We recommend collecting on the Monday, we always take ours back then – less traffic! 

Displaying a vehicle means you would also get free tickets for every day of the show. (We’d also be able to distribute them amongst other members if they’re surplus to your requirements.)

The J, J/B & 101 Register

To contact the Register please email jtyperegister(at)gmail.com. There is a ‘Contact Us’ link at the bottom of each page on the website but which doesn’t currently seem to be doing what is asked of it!
As well as the obvious buttons across the top, the ‘chassis plate’-shaped box on the right contains additional buttons for numerous additional galleries of photographs and information. The ‘Morris-Commercial’, ‘Morris’ and ‘Austin’ badges to the right are also buttons which give access to galleries of preserved vans. Over a period of time we would like to load a photo/gallery page for every known surviving van, but it will take some time to complete. Currently there are photographs/pages for 343 different vans in the galleries – 178 ‘J’ types, 136 J/Bs and 30 101s, with a few more to be loaded as and when time permits or as and when details of survivors new to the Register are sent in!

Including individual van pages in the galleries, there are more than 300 pages to be found, plus the Blog. We’ve passed the 1000-mark in photographs loaded.

Please note: Photographs on this website have been watermarked, not to imply ownership in any way but to indicate this website as the source.  The copyright of any photograph supplied for use by the Register on this website or in the Newsletter will remain with its owner. It is often not easy to attribute ownership of any individual photo, but where possible we will indicate such.

The J-type Register exists to:

1.    Gather and collate information about the history of the vans

2.    List known survivors

3.    Act as a central pool of information regarding spares and restoration

4.   Encourage the use of these wonderful light commercials for the maximum enjoyment of owners and enthusiasts everywhere.

The Register is not, nor has ever been, a ‘club’. Over the years we’ve tried to impartially help anyone with a J-type problem of any nature.
