Until 1961, the van was sold alongside the relatively old-fashioned and slightly smaller Morris Commercial J-type. From 1960 the company also offered the slightly smaller Morris Commercial J4 which broadly followed the same overall architecture as the J2.
The J2 van was marketed as both the Morris J2 and the Austin J2 or Austin 152.
The engine was normally separated from the driver by a steel cover, but its presence in the cab nevertheless ensured a warm journey after a couple of miles of running
The J2 was also used as the basis for various campervans
