Mike,

It is a Morris Commercial, I have seen this photo on here before and another in a book which is not to hand at the moment. At first glance the census number looks like Z24845, but this computes to an Austin ambulance, so tried Z34845 and that does come up as a MCC, Lorry, 15 cwt 4x2 GS and Winch versions, Contract No. V2695, Z34826 to Z34942.

As for rating, in a recent thread, re. motorcycles, there was a theory that early census numbers, used the first two digits to indicate the year, I am not wholly convinced, but if so, this would make the Morris, 1934, which could be about right?
