Rootes Group Commer Karrier BF built – since 1959 – by Smiths Delivery Vehicles in Gateshead for Mister Softee franchise.
Karrier was a British marque of motorised light commercial vehicles manufactured at Karrier Works. Karrier became part of the British Rootes group in 1934 where it retained its brand identity though the business was operated as part of Rootes's Commer commercial vehicle operation. So, Commer [1931-1967] in the 60’s was the parent of Karrier [1934-1970].
