    Its definitely not a stock Fordson,look at the back end,its not very often i cant decipher whats what with these upright models but this one has me partially beat at the moment .

    It appears to be a panelled in saloon for sure but which one,the short front door points toward it being a four door,but it has no opening front screen.

    Its a 7Y /Fordson grill ,and looks like Fordson bonnets,later beaded front wings,i think its a Bitsa and was a diy build up.

    I think its a Fordson cab /front with a prefect or 7W back end grafted on,but that would leave an issue with the longer wheel base ? unless they trimmed to fit that would explain it.

    The only other explanation is that it was built from a Fordson cab and chassis that Ford supplied overseas and to coach builders for bespoke vehicle orders and was built up that way,probably best explains it.

    Looks like no one noticed on the HAMB
