Morning all,

I'm not sure that I've ever seen one of these in the metal, what a cracker.

Hi
Looks very similar to the Hillman Utility in the main site Shows Phots index.
I wonder why one is badged Hillman and the other Commer, even the Tilly was badged Hillman and that was obviously for commercial use.

Its a 46/7 style front end and quite often they were badged as Hillman 5cwt vans or some as Commers. Rootes badge engineering.
