1940's Morris GPO Y Van. 165 of these vans were specially built for the Post Office to be used by their Radio Investigation Service as a Radio Detector Van. This type of vehicle appeared in the 1961 film "The Young Ones" a film featuring Cliff Richard trying to save a youth club from being redeveloped, involving use of pirate radio broadcasts to announce their shows.
