London Transport bought a lot of Ford Thames E83W vans in the late 1940s and early 1950s, several of which have already been shown on LTSV. Here though is one of thirteen such vehicles that were fitted with so-called 'Laundry' bodies. Sharing the same bonnet as the standard vans, everything else was different, with a more upright windscreen, larger doors and a taller, slab-sided body. The payload remained the same but these vans were able to carry bulky items. Strangely, all thirteen vans were used by the publicity department (carrying bulky bus timetables?!). 764F was based at Highgate (Holloway) then Hackney (Clapton) and was withdrawn in 1961.
