It looks like an early SUV.

For one point, please respond and identify car and coachbuilder.

Looks like the earliest version of a Morris Oxford, the MO of the 1948-1954 period.
A prolific estate car builder of the era was Crayford.  Can this be close??

Morris is correct, the rest is not.

Yes, Morris Cowley chassis. To distinguish it from other Cowleys it is usually characterized by a three-letter abbreviation. I need that one for the easy part, the harder one will be the coachbuilder which is not Abbott.

Would that be a Morris Cowley MCV?

Once upon a time a Morris Cowley and a 1946 Ford V8 met in a quiet, dark corner of a big parking area. They fell in love and got married and after a while this was their offspring. Mom's cute-ish face and dad's ungainly feet and backside were what immediately caught the eye, but sadly beauty was not a word which could ever be applied to the progeny. :o ;D

Was the coachbuilder in one of the Commonwealth countries, say Canada ?
