I was getting there based on the name of the test pilot.

Yeah, that was going to be my route as well but thought I'd just see if there was any clue in the properties of the file and hey presto.

Yep! I think you're right. the wings are too low to be a Wildcat.

I would guess it is British.

I say that because the little round clear light in the bumper cutout looks like the same light as they used on a huge variety of Lucas Electrical vehicles.

(of course there is the RHD too....)

Bingo, we have a winner. Scammell Contractor is bang on the nose, going by the reg., it's a 1969-70.

Yeah, they both belong to a local heavy haulage / heavy recovery company and are still working trucks. The company has a very diverse range of services and classic trucks are a big thing for them, they also do restorations. The Scammell can be doing heavy recovery one day, then hired out as a novelty wedding vehicle, or for film work the next.

There's a few more pics on the company website:
