Default Tilly

Looks like a Austin tilly (?) in Sydney NSW , 1947.

If it is a Tilly, it is likely to be one of the Tillies imported in 1945 for essential civilian users . Although a fair number of the Standard variant have survived, the other three brands are very scarce. Newspaper reports indicate that over 1000 tillies were imported during 1945.

From the same series of pics: A 1941 ex-army Plymouth utility with roof hatch. 1947.
