London, Brighton & South Coast Railway (LBSC) "Grande Vitesse" van of 1906-08. This ancient six-wheeled vehicle seems to have ended its days on the quayside at Newhaven.
Built for "express" freight traffic, which was presumably transhipped onto ferries as Newhaven didn't have ships that could carry railway wagons or vans.
This van may even be the one that was "grounded" later next to the swing bridge. '
