The rear doors are have a similar pressed form to the Morris O-type vans based on the Minor. The thumbnail picture suggests the size of van would be about right, if so the chrome bumpers are non-standard. The door hinges may juat be visible in the correct position but I cannot be sure. Rear reflectors or turn sinals look to be added or moved? Comments? |

Could it perhaps be another like this? /vehicle_189798-Morris-1-2-Ton-Van.html |

Perhaps it is but I have not found an example that shows the same panel-form in the rear doors, and the windows look larger. I've probably ruled out the Morris Minor based van because the white stripe painted on the side in the thumbnail does not match the van's panel form. It would be higher than in the thumbnail |

It definitely isn't a Morris Minor van, and it isn't a Morris Oxford van either (there's one on ebay just now). It looks a bit big to be either of those. Could it be a Thames like the white Dormobile in "The Italian Job"? |

Ignoring the bumpers and lights it looks like the minor based O type , deffinatley a Morris theres nothing else of a similar size with these doors or proportions, door hinges and filler cap is in the right place and can be seen in side view in film. If you think of similar size British vans of the 50s and 60s such as Standard , Thames , Commer nothing from those makes looked like this, only Morris and the doors are wrong for the Cowley so its an O type. |

Looks windowed and tweaked a bit - may be a Wadham Bros. 'Carversion' or similar. |
