David,

This is refering to photo no. 2.

Cannot get enough detail to confirm whether photo no. 1 shows MWV or MWD.

Here is the picture

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

I am going to post an extract of the windscrneen of the MCC C.2 as it in the right side are a tax disc, with "EXEMPT" on it, as we have seen before, and also a shtee typed up headed "DEFENCE OF THE REALM" with the "W.D. No. V..." which I thinks states that it is being driven on His Majesty's Service, so licensing etc. rules don't apply. I have often wondered when the regulations came in that a) no civvy-style Middlesex County Council rego need not to be used, and b)when the Road Fund License was no longer needed to be displayed (merely the "W.D. No." quoted).

Note also the 30-cwt C.2 was orignally prefixed , and as at the date of the photo,"V" for "Van" though by the time of the Census List this had become "L" for "Lorry".

Hi Radek,

A MWV does not have a full metal cab it is the back body and canvas cover that is slightly different from a normal MW cargo truck (MWD). The early MWV van had open cab with aero screens and canvas roof and half canvas doors, then they had the metal half doors with canvas door tops and full windscreen.

Hi Radek,

to see the Bedford seats and interior, contact Vilem. We just brought original seats from the UK. His OYD and MWD are now nearly 100% original.
