No suggestions? I cannot find anything similar... Registration is not visible due to poor film print Possibly about 8-10cwt... |

johnfromstaffs I'm again impressed - how did you find it as a Triumph? I've searched the CM archive but I over-estimated I think the size of the van. The radiator does look like the Triumph, front wings look variable so may not be reliable and the cab roof being more rounded not flat makes me think it dates from after 1935 and probably 5cwt rather than 8cwt? A little more research and reading required I think. Triumph 5cwt van description and road test... http://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/20th-january-1933/50/a-new-5-cwt-delivery Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com" Triumph Ten-Four 5cwt and 8cwt van in 1935 "The Triumph models are the 5-cwt. and 8-cwt. vans, giving extra large capacity and a low loading line ensured by the underneath worm drive. The larger model has an illuminated advertising panel above the cab." page 430 here |

Nice to see it solved by an obscure photo from a remote part of Orkney! |

The more rounded roof line, (lower over the cargo area than a 8-cwt?), and continuous belt-line from cab door to rear makes me believe it is a Triumph Ten-Four 5cwt van about 1935.![[Image: triumphvans.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/triumphvans.jpg) From CM Archive articles. |

Remarkable what a little fishing will do! |

Cheers! Partly knowledge, as I was able to eliminate all the obvious makes virtually straight away, partly good luck as I had only three makes left to research, Singer, Trojan and Triumph. I firstly thought it might be an import but the wiper on the right helped. Looking at the CM pages I have to say that I am very impressed in my turn by the Singer van lettered for Ralphs Radio. This business was situated about two hundred yards from my home, and Mr Ralphs jnr (now retired) supplied my now vintage Technics stacking hi-fi system, still functioning perfectly after what must be the best part of thirty years. -- Last edit: 2016-04-15 21:06:55 |

jfs 2016 link seems to have died but it's still thereabouts![[Image: 1932triumphvantankerness.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/1932triumphvantankerness.jpg) "No: 2727 Contributor: Edwin Rendall Year: 1947 Area: Tankerness. Fish Van - if my memory serves me okay this is Benny Morrison doing his rounds selling fish just after the war. He was at my grandfathers in Tankerness with his van. Could it be a Standard Van? Picture added on 01 April 2007 Comments: - It looks like a Triumph Super Seven to which someone has added a van body later, but I might well be wrong. Standard took over the bankrupt Triumph company in 1945, but this van predates that. The registration number is an Edinburgh one issued in 1932. (Added by Paul Sutherland on 2 April 2007) - Paul is correct, this is a Triumph Super Seven Van, made in small numbers 1930-33. In 1933 Triumph renamed it a Super Eight. I am currently compiling my 3rd book on photos & memories of pre-war Triumphs and this would be a rare & great addition. Graham Shipman - Archivist & Registrar for the Pre-1940 Triumph Owners Club.

After some searching the 5cwt van was 8hp,, chassis [K8], therefore not a Ten-Four [10K] /vehicle_1522339-Triumph-Ten-Four-Van-K10-1934.html |
