Lucas Racing Services suggests something UK. My guess is a coach conversion from something like a Duple Vega. It's probably identifiable from the Lucas link by someone who knows what to look for.

I've never drunk a bear - hot, cold or warm - apparently the fur gets caught in your throat.

What? You're missing out, bears are quite delicious once you get used to the fur.

It looks more likely to me that it was built on a truck chassis by the high steering column compared to the low windscreen. High chassis/floor also seen at the rear. The raised section of the roof form looks similar to Marshall (or possibly Willowbrook) municipal bodies.

As a best guess if it dates from about 1968-69, 1967 Commer CC, 4-Ton on 16" wheels. Lucas had used a Karrier chassis in the same situation, as seen in 'Checkpoint', but by 1970 there were no 16" wheels on the Gamecock W-series I believe.

It has some similarity to an earlier Commer CA BBC Outside Broadcast Truck by Marshall also here. Its unlikely to be a Bedford TK without an engine access flap in the sides.

Remains 'unknown' until it possibly is seen again with a better view of the front or a registration number.
