Hey 55 it looks to have been a delivery van at one stage in its life as the cab roof seems very high thanks for posting the pictures cheers Bryant :)

I thought it might be restoreable or use for parts, has real nice looking gauges considering the rest of it.

Lang, maybe a smaller version, I remember thinking the diff may be a 2 speed..

Looks pretty close to me - wheels, guard shape etc. Of course yours probably had an Australian body slightly different to the one in the English brochure.

Diff looks single speed to me. Would be a bit unusual to have two speed on a small vehicle like this I would have thought.
