It was a truck to transport Vespas, owned by Douglas in the UK. Built in 1955.
Not sure about this, but some sources say it is based on a Dennis chassis.

Yes, that's it.
Douglas of Bristol built Vespas under licence in the UK from 1951-1965 and this is their coachbuilt delivery truck; I couldn't find out what chassis it was one but it could have been a Dennis.

Here's the original picture:

It's a Dennis Stork.  The name is easy to read on this image.

Thanks.
I tried blowing the image up but it was all so blurred it was unreadable!
Dennis it is.
