Another family photo of my Uncle Karl, taken either in Bristol or possibly London (I visited him in London about 1970). He ran a clock,watch and jewellery business and assume the panel van gave his stock some security. I'm guessing it's an Austin - is that a good guess?

Hi
Looks like a Morris Z type to me, that is the commercial version of the Morris 8 Series E.

Agreed.

No worries, RJ. This photo was from my dad's memorabilia, the late Harry Manning, brother of Karl Levi, the car's owner who you see in the photo. I just happen to be the current custodian.

Definately a Morris Z van, I have seen many restored ones without hubcaps so I wonder if they were actually fitted to these small commercials?
