Rich, had not heard that news yet. I'm not surprised, the current prices for metals like copper, brass and lead attract a lot of thieves. You would not believe the number of times trains come to a standstill due to thieves robbing copper cables!

Thanks,
Hanno

Hi Keith,
I think you are correct, it does appear to be a Morris 15cwt. The reference points I can make out are:
1. the leading edge height of the left wing and the clearance of the wing from the bonnet.
2. the bottom edge of the windscreen is lower than the height of the body side, and it seems to slope up toward the centre. The Guy Ant body is the same height as the bottom of the windscreen.
Cheers,
Dave
