1950 Ford Pilot State by Hawes & Son?
I'm going to give you the point Joao.
I have the coachbuilder as Hawson, presumably the shortened version of Hawes & Son.
Haven't been able to trace any more information on this company at the moment.

Thank you.I have another picture :

"The Ford Pilot V8 Estate with all-metal panelled body by Hawes & Son Ltd was introduced in 1950 and produced only in small numbers. The spare wheel was mounted on the tailgate."
