Sunbar ◊ 2014-07-08 13:08	Agreed Commer Superpoise, definitely not a Bedford.
Sunbar ◊ 2014-07-25 18:44	...also a Q4 Superpoise 6-8 ton tractor unit.
dsl ◊ 2025-03-13 00:35	Date reassigned from 1945 to 1939 from dateable plate seen in source clip. Does that affect ID as Superpoise Q4???
Sunbar ◊ 2025-03-13 11:49	^ No problem, Q-series Superpoise was introduced April 1939
Sunbar ◊ 2025-03-13 15:14	Because the Q-series was introduced almost exactly when the movie vehicle was registered, I took a look at the movie on the BFI Player. The result was its not a Commer Q-series cab after all; the depth of the side glass, door profile and handle position confirm its a 1937 Morris Commercial CV ("Equi-Load" so semi-forward control like the Commer). The 8-stud wheels says its probably based on the 4 or 5 tonner short wheelbase chassis. The door compared with the Commer Q-series cab. When compared with the Morris-Commercial CV door.
