This wonderful photograph of these six Mac Fisheries Morris Z vans was obviously taken as a publicity picture for the company. It was supplied to me from the 'old reigate web site'. In the background is the old Reigate swimming baths. The year is unknown but I'm guessing it is from around 1950 -52
Note the two unregistered vans (2nd & 3rd back) maybe one of these is actually my van!! SPE 901
The odd objects on the roof are a complete mystery to me. I will say that my thoughts on these vans being brand new is backed up by the square stickers on the windscreens, having driven this Morris model I know that the first thing any driver would do is peel this off as it would be right in his/her line of vision.
The fifth van back has a 'one colour' paint scheme and slightly different sign-writing
