American? Maybe Chevrolet? (As the Logo/Text seems longer)

Not from the USA and therefore not a Chevrolet.

Yes, you are right. It is a Bedford TA, it was built from 1953 to 1957. The puzzle is part of a Dutch prospectus from 1956.
You next point!

Thank you :) Belive it or not my first gut feeling it is a Chevrolet, is what took me to the answer. Otherwise never would have thought of a british manufacturer given the left hand drive. Great puzzle.

I thought it would take longer for someone to come up with a British manufacturer  :thumbsup:
