McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
As has been said looks like a Standard Vanguard, the one on the Wiki page has had indicators added.
The badge on the rear side of the bonnet looks identical.

Bryanj:
And not very quick as i remember

Oddjob:
Mine got nicked. It was in a council lock up garage with a huge area of open ground in front of it. I was fixing my dad’s mini and needed somewhere under cover to do so. So I hand cranked the Vanguard out of the garage to get the mini in. Had to go to dinner so locked up and went home for an hour. Came back and someone had turned up, spotted the Vanguard sitting there and used a HIAB to lift it onto the back of a lorry and drove away with it. You could see where he’d dropped the rams to stop the lorry from tipping over. Reg was GJA 533 iirc. I even had a factory workshop manual for it. Massive thing, hard covered ring binder, about 3-4 inches thick. You could have knocked an elephant out with it.
