This 1962 Morris FG Lorry seems the perfect truck to deliver supplies in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories. It was introduced the nationalized British Motor Corporation (BMC) under the Morris brand... later under British Leyland. With streets full of vehicles, cyclists, workers and pedestrians, this variant offered "Kerb-View" windows to see pedestrian and low obstacles. It was offered in various weight classes and in '62 could come with a 2.2 liter petrol engine or a 3.4 or 3.8 4 diesel. The cabin is rather spartan with metal chairs welded to the floor and a quilted cover over the engine compartment for insulation.
The model is by Best Choose Hong Kong Shengji. I looked to see if this model was available anywhere. All I could find currently was a similar variant branded "Leyland" which has the "Kerb-View" windows covered with body colored panels.

remember how I wanted one of those years ago when you first posted it Rich. Would really struggle to find space for it now. Pity, it's one of those 'nothing else quite like it' in the collection.
