dsl ◊ 2016-02-20 14:29	Commer PB of some sort. Post Office Telephones??
Sunbar ◊ 2016-02-21 14:57	Ladder rack on roof suggests Post Office Telephone van, PO started buying the Commer FC from late 1963 early 1964. However the Yellow livery started to replace green for Post Office Telephone vans starting in 1968. By the 1980s as here it is more likely sold, otherwise it was almost certainly resprayed yellow. The reflective white front plates and yellow rear plates from December 1967 are a later change probably as the Post Office Telephone vans more likely only had white on black plates for the green livery. Commer 1500 Series IIa [FC] 1963-65, or Series III [PA] 1966-67, the PA probably as a good guess.
