This lorry has a wooden body with a van - type canopy. I don't think it's an Austin.

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". Last edited by David_Hayward (RIP); 19-05-08 at 11:11. |

Sorry about the hi-res but for reasons of clarity I left it as produced. I assume that under the Visiting Forces Act the Canadian vehicles landed by spring 1940 were exempt from tax discs, etc., and again on HM Service.

![]() 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.
