It does not appear to be BMC either with separate letters in same position as Austin/Morris badge. So 1967 Morris FG (or 1967 Austin S200/T200 or larger [FG]).

Sunbar ◊ 2015-03-11 17:13	Morris fronts were commonised with the Austin grille design (during 1965 I believe). /vehicle_650242-Morris-FG-1967.html This coincided with the commonised fronts on the Austin and Morris J2 vans... /vehicle.php?id=92234 -- Last edit: 2015-03-11 17:16:58

Commercial Motor Cover December 1967 with Morris advert showing Morris front. (The side-lights appear rectangular here also unlike the later round ones on some later Austin FGs). -- Last edit: 2017-05-05 11:00:26
