This truck was registered in Southampton in 1927. It does seem odd that a vehicle as late as that still has oil side lights. Truck design was very conservative in that era, especially Daimler (they still had wooden chassis until after WW1, and perhaps the people were too.
I think the truck is probably more like early 1920s. I will make enquiries re the date of the plate.
