Default Barn find - Bradford by Jowett

I went along with a friend at the weekend to investigate what he had been told was an 'an old car' in a shed/garage on a property he had bought (on Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Australia). The shed was incredibly overgrown with vine and what we initially thought was a door to the shed turned out to be the back of a wooden truck type cab with a small rear window. I suspect the vehicle had been some sort of small flat bed truck, there were no wheels and I could clearly see a rectangular box section chassis. We cut our way through the vines and got around the front to find a metal body with intact pod style headlights (I can't believe I didn't take any photos!) and above where there was once presumably a grille there was a chrome badge that said "Bradford by Jowett". There did not appear to be an engine.

I know Jowett made cars but I didn't know they made small trucks. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about these Bradford vehicles?
