Following on from another thread, I'd like to know what this pre-war door was from Confused It has a sliding window, a bit like early minis....

Can anyone identify it? (Peter Scott maybe?) Wink

Hi

It is a funny shape, or is that the angle the picture was taken?

Is it a rear van door?

Cheers

Dave

Hi

I don't remember it being a funny shape, I think it was just rectangular...

It could be a van door, but did many vans have opening windows in the rear doors? Not sure, although I had thought it might be commercial - the sliding window is somewhat reminiscent of Rick's Dodge!

Cheers

No, you got me on that one. Wink

I take it there's no cut out for a rear wheel.

Peter.

I thought Trojan at first, but on the one I had the door tops were horizontal, and had a quarterlight. Maybe a pre-war?
