Pre-war Morris 18.
Victor sent this pair of photos over, he's interested in old registration plates and has photographed numerous old cars on his travels. The first photo is of a pre-war Morris 18 saloon, on spoked wheels, that he found in Ootacamund, South India, in 1968. Note the two-tone Standard Pennant parked behind the Morris, and also the Caltex Star Service Station.

Pre-war Morris van.
The second photo sent in by Victor shows another large Morris, this time one that had been shipped to New Zealand, where it received this coachbuilt van body. Is this also based on the 18, or perhaps a larger model? It's finished in the livery of Eureka & Matangi, and runs on "easi-clean" disc wheels.
