The Octavia was based on the 1955-1959 440 Spartak.
The model name Octavia of this car was chosen because it was the eighth one in a row of constructed cars starting with the 1933 Popular 420.
The Octavia Super had a stronger engine than the standard Octavia.
Late 1960 all Octavia's received this new grille and little fins on the rear end wings.

Another classic rural operator in Gloucestershire was Cottrells of Mitcheldean, down in the Forest! This business bought its first deckers after the second world war for its heavily used service between Ruardean, Mitcheldean and Gloucester.
In 1974 LLH 9K, a Roe bodied Leyland Atlantean, was acquired from Silverline Coaches at Hounslow. It had been used for a contract with TWA linking central London with Heathrow Airport. In 1974, when less than three years old Cottrells bought her.
Here, LLH 9K is seen in 1982 en route to Cheltenham, to undertake a job more akin to its original role in life, ie a National Express working. At the wheel is Edgar Cottrell, one of the brothers then running the business.
This bus would spend another seven years running with Cottrells before being sold into retirement as a mobile shop in the Northampton area.

After this period the van was sold to a Waterlooplein (2nd hand market) trader who used it for commercial purposes.

Kingston upon Hull City Centre mobile coffee shop Larry's Bar about the most colourful thing in the centre along with the Fruit and Veg stall close by. Taken on the 18 September 2018
In the days before major concern about global warming and vehicle emmissions it seems odd to recall that many vehicles seen on city streets in the UK were actually battery-electric powered and were used on short, intensive delivery routes that made them very common on milk delivery rounds and for bakers and groceries. Rather puts the diesel vans of the numerous Asda, Tesco and Ocado vans we see so many of today to shame! Page 2 of the article shows;
The Jen- Helecs 'mechanical horses' or tug was very much the battery electric version of the Scammel motored truck that was so popular with British Railways at the time. This example shows the changeover from the privately owmed 'Big Four' railways to the nationalised British Railways! Jen-Helecs were constructed by Hindle, Smart & Co Ltd in Ardwick, Manchester. Electric trucks were popular for mobile shops or grocery deliveries and Batley Co-operative Society's example of a Brush 2-ton electric truck would at the time have been a common sight. Brush were, of course, the large concern in Loughborough who constructed a wide range of elctrical vehicles and bodywork.
Bradford's bread - well, I remember this company when living as a child when we lived in West Bromwich. This was once a typical suburban scene - the baker's man on his daily delivery run. From memory the bakery was almost on the boundary between West Bromwich and Birmingham, and Bradford's appear to have gone to the latter city to register the vehicle. This truck was constructed by Midland Vehicles of Leamington Spa. The Tomlinson Roadster was one of the type that was not driven but steered by a pedestrian and this example is in a Dutch or Flemish speaking area of the Benelux countries, pounding pavements some way distant from where it was built in Witney, Oxfordshire. A similar hand-steered vehicle is the Harbilt milk float 'pram', again constructed in Loughborough by Harbilt. I must admit, milk truck and float I have heard of but never a 'pram' but I suppose the root is permambulator.
former mobile shop (SRV) and now in use as a mobile museum for (hi)story telling in the city of Zwolle (NL). Here it stands in front of a primary school.

Door-to-door sale was very common in the Netherlands. It was common at the countryside as well as in the city. In the village I grew up I remember there was bread, groceries, milk, fresh fish, and even coal was sold at the door.
This Spijkstaal mobile shop type usually was used by the milkman, with dairy, supplemented with groceries.
I don't know what happened with this van. The whole area has been demolished and cleaned up there. All buildings are gone.

Another from the same source as yesterday evening's shot.
Here's a fairly anonymous Marshall bodied Bristol RE in use as a wayside shop. Presumably its on private land somewhere as its bereft of registration number plate? There's no information on the back of the print so we can have this one as tonight's quiz.
By the shortness of the painted out NBC fleetname and that its an RELL I presume that its an ex Trent / NWRCC example as I seem to recall Ribble's were RESLs?
The Gova Truck Company was specialized in ambulant shop trucks. The company was founded in 1955 in Wormerveer, NL.
In 1980 the company was bankrupt declared but parts of the company managed to continue as Gova Service.

In 1996 all activities of Spijkstaal came to an end.
This truck is now out of service as a moving vehicle. It is now in use as a food truck.
These trucks (or vans) are a rarity in Dutch streets.

In July 2013 I found out it's probably a Citroën HY Sligtenhorst/NEBA mobile shop. "Citroën in Nederland" (by Wouter en Rob Jansen, 1994) is showing on page 142 a mobile shop which is exactly the same as this one on my photostream.
Coachbuilders Sligtenhorst made campervans, extended standard HY's and attractive mobile shops with polyester bodies. I couldn't find any further information about this company.

Photographed outside the Seaton Tramway’s Riverside depot, car 01 served as a mobile souvenir shop. It still shows its previous identity, when it was part of a 2ft 9in gauge tourist operation in Eastbourne. That closed in 1969, and the Eastbourne rolling stock was transferred to Seaton to run on the trackbed of the former Southern Railway branch line.
Car 01 was one of the original scratch-built trams verily for the Eastbourne operation in 1954. It was converted to a works car in 1960 and then further transformed to become this mobile shop five years later. In this role, it lasted until 1995, then becoming a staff mess van and kiosk. Today it is stored out of use, its future undecided.

In 1968 the Hanomag company merged with Rheinstahl-Henschel. One year later Daimler-Benz took over the majority of the shares. From then all models became known as Hanomag-Henschel, until 1974 when this name and most truck models disappeared definitively.

This 1954 view is from the archives of the Hull Daily Mail, published in a recent Flashback supplement, kindly forwarded by an old school friend. The scene is the eastern end of George Street, as traffic waits for a vessel to pass beneath the North Bridge. In addition to the fascinating Co-op mobile butcher's, a pair of KHCT trolleybuses tag on behind an EYMS Leyland PD1 with Roe Beverley Bar bodywork. The nearer of the trolleybuses is a Cravens-bodied Crossley of 1938, with the FRH-registered vehicle is a Leyland TB7 with East Lancs bodywork. What a shame that not a single Hull trolleybus was saved for posterity.
I couldn't see any Citroën emblems, but judging by the rims I believe this mobile market shop was built on a Citroën HY chassis.
The shop body was made by the Baeten coach work company, Melle (Belgium).
