Austin 6cwt van.
The Morris Minor van was re-badged as an Austin so that buyers loyal to the Austin marque wouldn't be put off by the Morris badge (marque loyalty was still a big thing in the 50s and 60s). The van was available with either 6cwt or 8cwt rating. Note the correct bonnet fitted to this van (no side moulding continuing from the doors) although I believe that vans and pickups didn't have the stainless steel door window frames.

Classic lorry and van photos from the Gaydon truck show.
In addition to the Austin 6cwt van shown above, were many other classic and vintage lorries, both large and small. I've featured 85 of the photos I took at this particular show, held at the Gaydon motor museum in Warwickshire, in 2005. Whether you're a fan of all Austins, or just 6cwt vans like the one shown here, I'd recommend a visit to this show.
If you can shed any more info on this 6cwt van picture, I'd be interested to add to the information I have on this particular Austin, thanks.
All the pics shown in this section were taken by myself, at Gaydon in 2005.
