Used as an undertakers vehicle, but more a van than hearse.![[Image: cap1353eh.4261.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is235/cap1353eh.4261.jpg) |

The fluted hood definitely points to a Vauxhall base . Possibly ca 1938 big six converted into a van |

I also thought the hood had the Vauxhall flutes but I think now it is probably a reflection in the paintwork. There is no appearance of the thin end of a flute at the end closest to the windscreen. Also the headlights are not typically Vauxhall in shape. They tended to be longer and more tear-drop in profile. |

Not Vauxhall but instead a van based on an Austin 10 from 1939. Bonnet side flash identical and bonnet/grill shape. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Austin_Ten.jpg -- Last edit: 2007-05-02 15:52:37 |

At least it would never have been used as a hearse in the UK. Could be a former ambulance that has been retrained as an undertakers vehicle. |

Def no hearse but a body collection vehicle yes..but they would have had to go in above the drivers head as the body is too short - the van, not the corpse - much like an ambulance would. Without seeing the film, how do we know they were undertakers or a body was put into it? Guess we are all going on the look of the person? The bodywork is more akin to a gown van... |

Although it could have originally built as a gown van, "Undertakers & Embalmers" on the side is a good clue to its use, and in the episode it was used to collect a body. |

I don't think this is an Austin. Could well be a Morris Ten. They had very rounded front wings, bonnet side flashes, small headlights, funny little round sidelights and a flying radiator mascot... Look at this one: /vehicle_296367-Morris-Ten-M-1946.html The bonnet side flashes don't look long enough for an Austin and I can't see the moulding around the wing edge that the Austin had. Then again the GS1 had overriders and a very similar flying handle thingy on the bonnet... Can't make my mind up! -- Last edit: 2012-01-31 01:00:10 |
