A c15a
Here's an interesting one, and the video is fun to watch too. The Australian National Film and Sound Archive have their own Youtube channel and produced a driving mash up including this nice C15A civvy tow truck with a sunshine roof and a very naughty boy about to hold on for a free ride.
 Here's the link. The blitz is at about 3:10.

Another archival film
Not a CMP this time, but seen in the early part of a 1961 Jaguar film what looks like a Guy Ant tow truck.

Speaking of Guy Quad Ants in movies there's a similarly brief appearance by one in the film Billy Liar, towing an antique artillery piece in a military parade. The scene involves one of Billy's daydreams in which he imagines himself as the victorious Brigadier Fisher, returning from glorious campaign to the adulation of the huge crowd, and saluting the King and Queen as he passes by on his white steed mount! As always he wakes up to his mother screeching at him to get up and go to work!

Looks more like a Morris Quad GT to me. Whatever it is, well spotted! Mike C

Definitely a Morris C8. The Guy Quad Ant has rectangular windscreens.

Thanks Mike and Richard, I stand corrected.
