Threetails ◊ 2006-02-25 12:40	Being a Caribbean setting and judging by the low profile of the bodywork, the windscreen, and a GM family resemblance, I'd guess it was a 1955-63 Bedford
firebird86 ◊ 2006-03-30 18:01	theres hardly enough of it left to Identify

Still searching for more clues or confirmation I think. -- Last edit: 2006-11-26 13:11:58
chris40 ◊ 2008-02-24 23:15	How about this? Link to "www.hankstruckpictures.com" ... described as an Austin Loadstar, but I'm not sure that's right ...
Sunbar ◊ 2009-08-01 15:38	Good thought chris40. Although it could be the later Morris-Commercial WE/Austin 3-Ton which used the same cab. I can see a few details that could match. A pity that the thumbnail picture does not look to be working.
Sunbar ◊ 2009-08-15 10:49	Austin 303 3-ton I believe - There is enough additional detail visible under the bonnet here (on the slightly later model with the one-piece windscreen)... http://ccmv.fotopic.net/p41414248.html -- Last edit: 2014-03-14 15:12:05
Sunbar ◊ 2014-05-26 13:45	Similar bus shown here although filmed in Barbados and not Thailand /vehicle_699133-Austin-303-WE-1955.html
Sunbar ◊ 2016-12-10 13:32	Missing thumbnail details added (first comment).
