Austin

More 50's trucks on the Projects page! Excellent...

My dad had a radio bodied Q4 a few years back, they sound superb!

Looking good.

Some more....

As already discused on here, the rally field was a muddy bog, but Ideal to try out the 4 wheel drive on my Austin K9.

Here are a few of the pictures I took on the Bank Holiday monday morning, I could stay all day due to other commitments.

Impressive kit you've got there John. More pictures please!

It was owned by Graham Booth for a while.

I'm booked in and will be there all weekend!

Wow! Thank you for posting these pictures.

Theres a rather sad looking K6 on ebay at the moment.

You Star!

:yay:

I've got mypass through.

See you all there.

Your attention to detail is brilliant mate.

Im sure nobody is bored of this thread.

Fantastic job you're doing mate!

Awesome pictures mate. Thanks everyone for posting.

I notice someone has put together a dedicated Austin K9 website. Which is great, but I cant imagine it getting many hits when you have to pay to have a picture on the site...:confused:

Anyway, here is my K9 in its new colurs (but still unfinished!)

I agree with the military section thing, the field at the back would of been Ideal.

I was talking to an organiser and they recon they'll be having another later this year!

The Matador didn't sell, reserve was at 3k and bidding went to £2700. I don't know about the little Morris.

Just got back from a brilliant rally held at the Riverside caravan park in Southport. Weather was fantastic and they had a great turn out.

Here are some of my pictures.

Mine and my Dads Austin K9's.

Thank you all for posting pictures! I love the Austin K series trucks...

A couple from http://www.travellerhomes.co.uk/

And a home made Crewcab!

:-D I'll off to the TT this year on the bike, so will be looking out for it!

Mmmm...Thats one on the best sounds for sure! Along with..

The gearbox/transfer box on my K9 at about 25mph....:-\

Oil cooled big bore Suzuki GSXR being thrashed down a dual carrageway

And this Mack...

And any 40's/50's petrol Bedford truck.

Thats the coolest thing. I want it, with that engine it'll be a great daily driver too!

The battle scars add to it!

Heres the place to post all your Austin K series pictures. I noticed we didn't have a gallery for the Austin K's.

I'll start off with the two K9's we have. The first is a wireless truck and is owned by me, its currently undergoing some bodywork and a new paint job.

The second was bought recently and is fitted with a steel body and a 3ton crane and electric winch.

Please feel free to post any K series pictures!

We've got 3 booked in. All passes are back now...I'll check the numbers later.

Sounds like a mini HMVF get together!

Fantastic pictures and Info...

Ted, any chance of letting me know the correct yellow for the roof?

Thanks again!

And 2 minutes later, with the aid of Google images. I have a picture of an RAF mountain rescue Austin K9. Awesome!

And I love this RL....Mmmm

Brilliant information, thank you both very much.

I like the idea of a mountain rescue replica. I don't suppose anybody has any pictures they would like to share?

Thanks again
