This O Model Bedford was bought from Hamilton Motors From north London The Reg EBL ///, Was purchased during the petrol ration period & My great Uncle Tommy Boiston went to collect it from this well known firm, & IIRC Had some sort of conncesionery petrol coupons to get him back to Seaton Burn to his garage at Fisher Lane, It was termed as a three quarter wheel base, & Of course was a drop sider so it was a very versatile motor in its day, It was used a lot running Lime up to Auchterader & Back loading with Tatties for the North east, Happy long gone days , Regards Larry.

Courtesy of my Specsaver varifocals… I agree with Suedhead. The sides are on top of the front. Hope it didn’t rain too much on that trip!
