What is this?
 

Can anyone identify the vehicle in the enclosed photo? Is it military? It looks like a staff car built on a lorry chassis but the lights have a civilian look.

Re: What is this?
 

It has "Commer" on the radiator grille, could be a small, 2ton (?) truck chassis, would think the body is a replica of a pre-war car. Also noted that it has a Perkins diesel badge under the Commer one.

Would not say it was military related, but open to being proved wrong.

Well Perkins were supplying engines (the Fox) to Commer in the mid 1930s so bodywork doesn't automatically have to be replica - or does it?

True, Perkins have been used in Rootes vehicles since that time, but I would call the vehicle a Bitza......bits of this and bits of that!

Commer did not produce cars at that time, only commercial vehicles.

Transit maybe?
 

I think it has been stuck together, with some skill, on a 'recent' van chassis.

The registration is 1978 ( I think ) Note the tube shocks which wouldn't take any serious use at all.
