Yes well spotted - a charabanc it could be a body only but that would normally be parked, off the chassis, in the lorry owner's yard. ...but I think it is a complete vehicle parked alongside the pavement I can just see an extra pair of wheels behind the subject vehicle and the rear overhang can be quite large. -- Last edit: 2016-01-26 21:29:16

Only the second filmed in the 1920s when they were popular (rather than restored examples or replicas) both awaiting full identification. -- Last edit: 2016-01-29 12:40:14
