Morris 4x2 Light Utility Car

The "Tilly" (from "Utility") was the name given to several British light utility vehicles derrived from civilian cars. The Morris car is typical of such vehicles and is basically a pick-up body on a family saloon car chassis, with similar designs from Austin, Standard and Hillman. The cargo bed was covered with a canvas top and normally the Tilly carried one passenger in the cab and two in the bed (on folding seats). The front passenger's seat also folded down, to allow direct access into the cargo bed. Official passenger/cargo payload was 1,125 lbs. One distinctive feature of the Tillies was that the spare tire was carried on the roof of the cab.

The Morris used 1.3 gallons of fuel per hour at routine usage.
