In design prior to the outbreak of World War II, the Series Y
10 cwt van was the replacement for the Series 2 version.
Production commenced in 1940, with van and truck variants. Post-war production was
limited to the van variant. A bespoke Ambulance version of the Series Y
was also produced during the war. This
was a physically larger vehicle which used a 14hp
engine and featured larger wheels and tyres. It had a lengthened chassis and a 10 inch longer wheel base
than the "standard" 12hp versions.
