I believe this is an Smith's/NCB High-Top van built on a  Smith Electric 2-ton chassis. Are you looking for another name? The smaller vehicles had model names such as "Commuter" and "Suburbanite", but I wasn't aware of any such model name for the 2-ton van. If I'm wrong, please let me know and I'll see if I can find the name you're looking for.

You are on the right lines GTE, although this vehicle is not on a Smith's chassis, and it does have a specific name. Now Locked for you until your next reply.

I think I'm close to exhausting my limited knowledge and resources when it comes to old delivery vans. Let's unlock this one and give someone else a chance.

It is electric, but not NCB. Gte4289 has already established that it was built by Smith's, for which I've added a point.

Smith 240?
As previously mentioned, although it resembles a Smith's commercial, it is not.

To me, until your comment here, it was not so clear it is a vehicle made by Smiths (BH soon for this electric commercial vehicle built by Smith's) but under another name. I suspect the brand name is not NCB?

Built by Smith's, but did not use a Smith's chassis (and was not branded as 'Smith's'). Was it built on a Ford chassis?

Are the chassis builder and the brand of this van one and the same?
