Reminds me of a Standard Vanguard II Woodie which started life as a van for Pontypool Water Board who converted it into a woodie for going around checking the levels in reservoirs. It ended its days on an allotment in Palmerston in Barry in the early 1980’s. That was NAX 10.

komatsu 450, nice batch of pic’s there with old Blackwood and Pontypool firms.
I can not remember the name of the fibreglass company, but loaded there once. Most of the work was done by Pritchards, Ellis Morgan, Fox and Wakelys, originally with furniture vans and later curtainsiders.
Pritchards kept an immaculate fleet.
