No

I see a potential miscommunication here.

[fromwien]

No electric

[gte4289]

Steam?

No

[Wendax]

was it gas-powered?

No

Gas in the meaning of natural gas or rather gasoline? Or no to both?

Diesel engine

[gte4289]

Was it built for use in a particular journey or location?

[fromwien]

It has been used in a British area

This vehicle has just appeared in the Society of Automotive Historians Britain's Times. It is called the Utility Saloon built as a light recovery tender , powered by a Perkins P6 engine mounted centrally in the chassis. Somebody is looking for more information on this vehicle

[fromwien]

Yes, 'Utility Saloon' is part of the car's designation. Built as a light recovery tender and Perkins P6 engine is also correct.
LOCKED for you to find builder and complete designation

[pnegyesi]

That is all which is in the article. Builder is not mentioned - in fact the writer of the reader's letter is asking for more information

Just out of curiousity, was the builder Morgan and was this built in 1953?

[fromwien]

Just enough to earn a pre-Christmas-point! Congratulation

Another picture

this is all a bit weird to me, very weird. Without linking, all I am saying is that it was published by Commercial Motor in 1953 and it doesn't show up if you search their archive, it only shows up if you look at the extract in Google Books.

Thanks for the point.

[fromwien]

Interesting. I didn't search for the car in 'Commercial Motor'
