Old vehicles in Gaydon

Last week Continental Tyres relaunched the ContiNetwork, and chose to do it at the Heritage Motor Museum at Gaydon. So, after hearing how great the new revamped network is going to be I managed to sneak off for a walk around the museum.
The only commercial vehicle I found was this old Morris, which is apparently the very first T-Type one-tonne truck it built.

I absolutely love this 1958 Road Rover prototype - which presumably was the forerunner to the Range Rover.

This beautiful Wolseley Wedge was the star exhibit for me. Apparently there's only a few of these in existence.

Not quite sure I agree that the very first Toyota Carina E deserves to be here though.
