Anyone know what this is? Badge looks vaguely Chevrolet shaped but I don't recognise it.

It reminds me of an old Austin, but I don't suppose it is.

At first glance I thought Commer.

A Commer Chameleon? As sung of by Culture Club?

"Commer, Commer, Commer, Commer, Commer Chameleon?"

It might be an international, I think the ones from the late 1940's and early 1950's looked a lot like a Commer ?

Definitely a 1950s Commer Superpoise.

The smaller (lower gross weight) vehicles had the Hawk engine with the larger (higher gross weight) ones having the Snipe engine.

I was brought home from the Gors Maternity Hospital in a Humber Super Snipe! (I SO wish I could remember it!)

Nice cars, a three speed box if I remember, they would do about 50 in first and 70 odd in second, I never had the bottle to find out what they would do flat out.
