Go down the clues and see if you are right and claim the appropriate points. I would say for heardle you always need artist and song title, ditto for this whatsthisthen? 50 points still available to you for a researched answer (make and model) without using the clues.

So I would say it is one of them and claim the 50 points!!

You know you have it, did you twig the reg its a Devon TA plate, which is how I found it. Follow the clues and you will pull out the actual car, and what it sold for.

No I didn't see the reg but at £1100 I would have to say that was a bargain for someone - could be worth a lot of money one day!!

TOH - looks a bit like the Haflinger ICI used to run as their field maintenance vehicle?

4 "words" on the badge, and Haflinger not one of them. The two "words" at the top are hyphenated

How about a Simca Marmon?

Edit: possible 4 words on badge: Simca Unic Marmon Bocque

[NewcastleFalcon]

How about a Simca Marmon?

Yes very quick and very right
SIMCA wanted a commercial vehicle production unit and took over UNIC in 1952
The truck is a 1959 example and was designed by Bocquet hence its full moniker
SIMCA-UNIC Marmon Bocquet quite a rarity in deepest Northumberland.

Looks about right Mick, at first glance it reminded me of the Ford WOT 6 trucks we had in Egypt.
