It has however been altered, having had an aperture inserted in the centre chrome bar and honeycomb to take the starting handle - on a Series I Morris 8 the starting handle entry point is below the chrome cowl entering through the steel valance between the front wings and supported by a riveted plate below the bumper bar.
Although not particularly clear in your photo of the van fitted with wire rather than disc wheels, the brake drums look decidedly early 1930's Morris Minor - hydraulic brakes having been fitted to the Morris Minor for the 1934 season starting in late 1933.
