DEPICTFD in an accompanying illustration is a 1,000-cubic-ft. furniture van body built by Star Bodies, Ltd., Star Works, 115, Water Street. Manchester. 3, on a Bedford tong-wheelbase 3-ton chassis for John Ford (Pembroke), Ltd.
Strength and lightness are combined in the framework and superstructure. The panels are of aluminium and the complete vehicle weighs less than 3 tons.
The top rear door deflects upwards, and is held in position by stays. This affords protection against rain for men loading the vehicle.
Specially constructed to give the maximum amount of vision for the driver, the cab can seat four men in relative comfort. The vehicle is finished in a dual colour scheme.
