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. _________________ Bristols should always come in pairs.

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? _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |
