Surviving examples of the Cob are few nowadays, most having been driven to destruction in their role as a handy light commercial vehicle. Whether TMJ 447 is still with us is anyone's guess, but I doubt it. The Commer Cob was based largely on the Hillman Husky, an estate-car version of the Hillman Minx. This looks to me like a Series 1 example, similar in style to the 'Audax' range of Minxes and Huskies. The previous Cobs were based on the earlier style of Minx, before the introduction of the 'series' models, as were the earlier 8cwt Commer vans of 1936 onwards.
