Whatever it is, it looks like a Series II.

This is either a series 2 or an early 2a judging by the deep sills on the vehicle.

I wouldn't argue with 2A, but I'll be interested to see what Alexander has to say about this. ( :hello: Alex!) Why does it have that hatch on the side? And why does it have a British Q-prefix registration, issued to vehicles previously registered elsewhere whose date of first reg. is unknown ... including ex-MoD vehicles?

Q plates were issued to ex-MOD vehicles from time to time, however this one doesn't have any military features. The shelf things on the side are like nothing I have seen before, though at a wild guess it could have served as a fire tender in a factory or similar, and nto registered until it was sold on, hence the Q plate.
Other than that, looks like a standard Series II/early IIa 109" to me

Calum, I think you have got it spot on. These open sides are typical for Carmichael Fire Tenders. Originally the hose connectors would have been there.

It seems the white side lights are of the raised type, which were -- if I am right -- only introduced with the Series IIa in 1961.

Ah, recognise it now!!
Probably an FT/3 or FT/4. Though you can't tell, because both have different setups (I believe the one Alex has posted is a FT/2??)
