Tricky from that distance, but it could be a Fordson panel van, circa 1938

I'd say it's an Anglia/Popular/Thames van.......all the same really and from the 1950's.
Property owner in Andalucia since 2002. How time flies.

Yes, I think I'm out on the decade. Split-screen more likely on the pre-wars and, although there's not much to go on, the general look of those billboards suggests 1950s as advertizing was more often directly painted onto gable walls in the 30s.

Otherwise, hard to date the scene. Obviously Marbella, but before its Med charms were commercialized for Simon Templar et al.

If you read what it says at the top of the page, it’s a forum about Andalucia, not a random car spotting forum

Please take time to read the forum rules.
