Woodenhead's van. First seen crunching into the MG

and then generally doing stupid things - parking on humpback bridges, zebra crossings, blind bends etc.

CJJ = 1935 plate. I thought about CUJ (=1946) as well as front plate looks damaged, but rear looks fine as CJJ.

Probably a British-built sedan that was cut down to a van during WW2?

Yes , almost certainly an ex AFS (Auxilary Fire Service) vehicle used for towing a trailer pump .
Big engined cars favoured for obvious reasons.
