Can we zoom in on the badge? - might get a clue from the shape. There were many obscure commercials in UK at that time. |

An early Lacre van? |

It looks fairly good in close-up, too. |

Lacre van as greybear said? http://www.chrishodgephotos.co.uk/pixv/0104.jpg Probably around 1920 - If so I think it would be the first Lacre on IMCDb..... -- Last edit: 2007-10-13 10:54:57 |

I would agree with Lacre. For those who haven't heard of it, it might sound French, but it is short for Long Acre - a British firm. |

Yes, certainly Lacre. Here is a photo showing the style of writing the name: http://ccmv.fotopic.net/p26714331.html and here one showing the radiator shape with the embossed name: http://ccmv.fotopic.net/p26714330.html and another one: http://www.chrishodgephotos.co.uk/pixcma2/aaj349.jpg The company started in 1904 and was well known for it's vans and lorries. Later the concentrated on municipal vehicles, which they built until 1952. Interesting to note that Harry Shelvoke and James Sidney Drewry were both once employees at the Lacre Motor Company. |

It looks very similar to the chassis in the picture, so about the right age for a WWI vehicle. |
