southside Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Some help required! A builder I worked with had the same make of vans as the two in this photograph. The manufacture`s and year`s of production of the vehicle`s will help with setting up a timeline Thanks Southside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were the ones with a reversed gear change gate, low gear stick positions on the off side of the vehicle. The one on the right looks to me like one of the Austin half ton vans, the hub caps look Austin and I think I can see the flying A bonnet badge but I can't see the moulding line down the wing.

Jim Bowles Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 The one on the right looks more like a Standard Vanguard van to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pity we could not see just a bit more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boginspro Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Just realized the Morris ½-ton series III did not have the moulding line on the wing but was otherwise similar , so if it is one of them it was built between 56 and 62. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveHB Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 This looks like one of the vans being driven into Broad Street, it says 1961. www.picturesheffield.com;s01796 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
