A wild guess... Standard? |

![]() ![]() No passenger door, driver wearing shirt and tie, illegible sign-writing on rear panel but looks like two words, poster (headlines?) behind door opening. Maybe newspaper delivery?? Our oldest Standard vans at the moment are 1939 Standard 12hp Light Utility, so this is unknown territory ... |

Have found a brief book reference that Standard introduced some light vans and pick-ups in 1931 based on the Little Nine with capacity of 8cwt, upgraded in 1933 to 12cwt as the Atlas 12. Poor sales so they all stopped in 1935. |

Unknown newspaper delivery van... The following potential delivery vans I believe discounted from those listed by CM on sale in 1935; vans up to 12 cwt. Therefore a lesser-known manufacturer? Austin 10/4 & 12/4, Bedford 8cwt & 12cwt, Commer 8cwt, Ford 10cwt, Jowett 5G 10cwt, Morris 8cwt & 10cwt, Singer 5cwt, Standard Atlas 10cwt & 12cwt, Trojan 10cwt & 12cwt. -- Last edit: 2019-08-31 12:49:06 |

The concave form of the radiator cowl is very similar to this Commer 8cwt Newspaper Delivery van. Size, front wings similar also but a slightly different windscreen and odd radiator pressing. A 50% chance this is another Commer 8cwt van I think. |

from comments here. Still unable to find any reference to mid-30s small Humber vans, but happy to accept they existed. |
