A home-built one-off?

No. Hint: there was no manufacturer.

Because it's not an actual vehicle but it's a photomontage ?

It is an actual vehicle, for a very specific purpose.

Just to cover a possibility, Harrods had a fleet of electric delivery vans so perhaps this is a prototype.

Not made by a company, not home-built, not built by a university. But someone had to build it at some point !

Was it built by a group of people ?

Sort of. Built by an association for a very specific purpose.

Any relation with the army ?

Sort of. Because the year and circumstances it was also inspected by the army though it was not built for them

Was it built to deliver a specific type of objects ?

Built by a Co-operative?

sichel · « **Reply #39 on:** March 08, 2022, 09:49:09 AM »

Built to fill or empty tanks?

Carnut · « **Reply #40 on:** March 08, 2022, 10:05:33 AM »

So it must have been built during WW2.
Was it built to inspect underground bunkers (hence it needed to be electric)?

Of all the guesses this is the closest. Let me lock it for you.
Don't focus on the type of object, just follow this line of thought

oko94 · « **Reply #42 on:** March 08, 2022, 11:20:05 AM »

Thanks for the lock, even though I still haven't got much clue how to solve this mystery !

Is the cargo area meant to be closed when in use ? Or is it relevant that the sides are fully open in this picture (in order to carry very wide objects maybe) ?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #43 on:** March 08, 2022, 01:50:37 PM »

hmm, how to help you?

So we know this was built to deliver objects. It was built during WW2. And it was electric.

The question you need to ask yourself: why would an organisation build such a vehicle during WW2? And which organisation?

oko94 · « **Reply #44 on:** March 08, 2022, 03:47:00 PM »

Charity organisation ?

Healthcare ?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #47 on:** March 08, 2022, 11:31:26 PM »

no, not so specific, think in more broader terms

oko94 · « **Reply #48 on:** March 09, 2022, 04:15:00 AM »

Something about helping war victims ?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #49 on:** March 09, 2022, 06:59:41 AM »

no, it is about delivery. Just delivery
