Default strange one

Thanks Rick for the info, I,ll pass it on . Richard ! I knew you would have some info, so we will pose the question, did it have hub caps??. Some of Daves rims have heavier spokes, He is going to contact the Vauxhall group in the UK to see if they can help.

Hi Bob,

I would think those wheels when fitted to the Vauxhall car would have had caps, but the only photos I have come up with of the Bedford version only show them with steel wheels, so cannot really say. Sorry, perhaps the Vauxhall club will come up with more info.

Perhaps an Armstrong Sidderley ute. My parents had one in Sydney in the late 1950's. My brother and sister and I used to sit in the back, with a tonneau over our legs, travelling around Sydney.

From memory, the small second 'seat' had a well set-out tool kit under the rear (internal) 'seat'.

Google 'Armstrong Sidderley ute'.
