Summary[edit]

Description

By the 1930s, Morris had become the largest supplier of vehicles to the Post Office. The work horse of the fleet during World War II was the Morris Z.

These small capacity vans could be used for a number of duties such as delivery, transport and collection work.

During the war years this vehicle would have been fitted with dimmed and downward facing headlamps and a white edging to the wings as a visual aid during blackout conditions. Due to a lack of maintenance during the war, these vehicles often became quite dilapidated and run down. It is testament to their robust construction that they continued to give good, reliable service.
