Searched web and cosest i get to is a estate 4 dr but this is a two door wagon with drop down tail gate - 4 cyl
any clues anyone - as to whether old plate can be used in a search - or a good site to search

hotoserver etc) and paste it in the message box here.

If it's a Triumph Herald the maker's plate in the engine room might credit "The Standard Triumph Motor Co Ltd" - with a tag like this:

I'd say it's pfretty much like this if you look at placement of fuel filler and holes for park lights and also quaterlight frame in door.Maybe they made the uteand also a panelvan in Aussie!
