Seems the early ones were built by Jensen. - http://www.austinmemories.com/page8/page32/page32.html - http://www.flickr.com/groups/carguide/discuss/72157625245978005/ Not sure if Hampshire was acctually in the title (or just A70 15cwt Pickup?) but keeping it in ID to separate from Hereford - and agree this is Hampshire based - the wing curve in the door panel is distinctive between the versions.
