chris40 ◊ 2008-10-27 14:51	I don't think so; the Morris-Commercial Royal Mail vans were taller than this and the design of the front wings/fenders simpler. I'd suggest something like an old newspaper van, perhaps based on a Bedford ASYC.
Sunbar ◊ 2008-10-27 21:41	You're right about it being another newspaper van, chris40.. News Chronicle this time judging by the side. As you say the front wings are distinctive so I'm 90% certain its another Humber Snipe 10cwt van. The radiator is not really visible (it may have been damaged?) but the bonnet and wings match as do the body. /vehicle_197016-Humber-Snipe-10cwt-1945.html
