Perhaps the coachbuilder was Allan Taylor Engineering and Manufacturing of Wandsworth?

Correct!

Thanks.
I note they call it a Ford rather than a Fordson, same as the picture I posted.
I think the name Fordson only appeared in the UK later in 1931.
I wonder how many they made? It's possible that the picture I found is the same vehicle in prototype form, which might have been modified - e.g. different wheels - when it was sold to Holborn Council.
I wonder if records exist anymore...

Front wheels could have been flipped around

The front mudguards are different and the small side lights on the front are not there on the Holborn Borough Council vehicle, but other than that it looks just the same. The rear bodywork seems identical. I can't find anything at all about the vehicle on the Internet.
