As the registration VB is a London one, I would hazard a guess as Park Royal ?

It’s a Rutland-MTN-Manton Stuka 6x2 twin steer Chinese Six Lorry,with lefthand drive built for export and sold under the MTN marque name.According to information,if it was sold in the United Kingdom it would have had the Rutland marque name,be righthand drive and have the Condor model name.
I saw the R logo on the radiator and put two and two together and got FIVE! This is the first time I have heard of this marque.
Yep,it is a Rutland.VB is an old Croydon Reg. and IIRC,they were built at New Addington,Vulcan Way or thereabouts.Regards,900x20.

It was built by a company formed by Frank Manton in 1947 who started building his own trucks called the Manton.
The company itself was called Motor Traction Ltd of New Addington near Croydon, but was sometimes referred to also as Manton Motors.
Only a few were built and sold in the UK which were known as ‘Rutland’ they didn’t last long as in 1957 the company ceased trading.
In the picture below you can see the Manton sign on the left.
Here’s a preserved Rutland Eagle
