As far as I know "Golden Age TV Recreations" co-owner Paul Marshall is working on it and I think Dicky Howett too. You can find both their email addresses on the Golden Age site http://www.golden-agetv.co.uk/contactus.php .

One more year to go !!

coronation of HM Queen Elizabeth II
 

Did the Van ever get used for the Diamond Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II,

I've been in touch with Paul Marshall recently and no, Project Vivat has not been completed. There are various reasons but best for Paul to explain himself.

Remember that the coronation is staged about a year after the accession to the throne. The new monarch rules from the moment the old one dies. The 60th anniversary of the coronation was last week.

Paul told me that he took a Marconi Mk2 camera down to London to demonstrate in the presence of Her Majesty as part of the coronation celebrations.

Thanks for the info . I thought that it was going to be for the 60th Anniversary of the Coronation Celebrations .(We hope that it will be awile before the Accession to the Throne Celebrations ) .
Their has been no update on Project Vivat at all since the paint Job . When the Hub Caps are fitted she will look the Part .(Naked with Out) .like all OB,s should have .
