Apparently these three-wheelers were built between 1926 and 1933. There were six models available, including the Midget convertible, the Deluxe Chummy four-seater family car (we kid you not), and this van.
This one is pictured on a Manchester weighbridge, and appeared in Motor Transport in 1927.
Any more info will be greatly welcomed.

Don't know about the cars but I seem to remember a V4 air cooled petrol engine with "Coventry Victor" cast on it . I think Massey Harris used to put on their balers probably back in the 1950s
Vic Hungerford:
Coventry Victor were engine makers, originally flat-twins, from very early last century, and made motor bike/sidecar combinations with their own engines fitted. They made 3-wheeler cars from mid 1920s to just before the war, and as far as I know the company still exists as AN Weaver (Coventry Victor) Ltd. It certainly was still in existence fairly recently, making industrial diesel engines. The 3-wheeler vehicles were all fitted with Coventry Victor engines, horizontally opposed twins of varying sizes and I think that the later models had 1 litre engines.
