What a lovely photo Rick, the Fordson 7V is a lorry I'd love to have in the collection.

Its definitely a post-war model with that grill.

Interesting to see the Accessory list for the Commer Cob.
The 1961 Hillman Minx I owned did have an clock and a oil pressure gauge, but was not fitted with screen washers.
I found this to be very unpractical and often thought why the first owner would choose an "Electric clock" over a "Hand operated windscreen (windshield) washer"!
