CCH plates issued 1950, so this has to be CGH = Aug-Oct 35. GGH Sept 39-Jan 40 probably too late?? |

'CGH 847' I think. |

Looks Ford to me, but which model? The 1936 Model 67 30hp van does not have a plated grille surround. |

The grille is 1933 Dodge. I don't know much about the British Dodge truck production but I guess they used the same grille for several years? |

Thanks nzcarnerd. It looks like its based on the Dodge KC ½ton truck (USA), although I cannot find if it was assembled as a Dodge Kew truck in the UK. |

According to my book "British Lorries 1900 - 1992" by S W Stevens-Stratten, Dodge produced a 30 cwt truck chassis from 1933, accompanied by 2 and 4 ton models, all with American engines. The general shape of the 1935 3 ton cab and grille, which is the only picture in the book, resemble this van, but on a larger scale. By 1938 these had gone, to be replaced by the snub nosed truck which lated until the late forties. |

The van in the movie looks to be RHD and is similar to the size and design of the Dodge KC ½ton truck (USA) here... including the same spare wheel on the right of the bonnet. http://www.allpar.com/model/ram/ram-history.html Either made in Canada or the Kew plant in England. edit: Since the Canadian Dodge KC (RHD) is known to have been exported to Australia and its not known to have been assembled at Kew - built in Canada. -- Last edit: 2012-02-08 10:50:29 |

The car behind the bollard interests me. Possibilities include 1939 Standard (hope not). Maybe 1936+ Hillman Minx, or even Ford Model C. |
