Raleigh Light Delivery Van.
Raleigh, based in Nottingham, had expanded its successful cycle business into motorcycles after the First World War (with a few brief flirtations with other types of motor vehicles), and in 1930 had acquired the rights to the Ivy Karryall, a three-wheeled van using the forks, 348cc engine and fuel tank of a Raleigh motorcycle mounted in side frames which carried a chain-driven rear axle (with differential).
