Peter Davies tells us that the Dennis Paravan was designed by and built for Essex Carriers Ltd by Dennis vehicles. The aim was to save time (and thus money) on parcels delivery; time that was "wasted" by clambering out of a traditional lorry cab, going round to the back doors, climbing in and finding the parcel to be delivered. With this motor, you just walked in from the front. Does anyone know if any of these survived into preservation. We have at least one van-driving member who would like to find one!
