It sounds rather like a Morris J Van. If it has a flathead motor then it
is a J, if it has a BMC B series OHV it is a JB van.

Otherwise it might be a Morris J2 or J4 - some of them had doors like
that too, but are bigger and more modern looking than the J van. They
had OHV motors only.

Is that of any help?
