    After the WW2 RAF vehicles thread, I wanted to see the correct color and markings for a post war vehicle too. My idea is to repaint my Austin K9 in RAF colours ( I have been given a few gallons on post war blue). Here is a picture I found on the web on an RAF Austin K9. Is the white roof on the radio body correct for the 50's era? Many thanks and I look forward to reading your replies.

    Any decent motorcycle shop will stock these mate. In the BMW dealership I used to work in we used to have carrie bags full from all the ABS units replaced under warrenty. (there are 6 bleed nipples on each motorcycle ABS unit!)

    I prefer the in service look, but there is definatly something about a freshly restored military truck. My truck is getting really shabby but until I can afford to buy the paint thats how i'll stay.

    I live in Southport and our beach (and area) has quite a history with ex military vehicles. The shrimpers are now enclosed in a sercure area, but I'll try and get some detailed pictures. We also used a modified Bedford QL as a beach bus. And the best picture I have ever found... With the two DUKWs. Some more of the DUKWs we had here in Southport... And some history..

    Bloody hell, what a mamouth task to move them. I wonder if they'll be put back, or cut up or maybe even restored?

    What a shame....Its in such good condition too! I would love to help, if its manpower you need, this vehicle NEEDS to be saved.

    Yeah, you are dead right, but the appeal for me to these vehicles isn't just how rare they are. If Bedford MWs were as common as Morris Minors, I'd still dream of owning one, the difference would be that they would be easier to find and cheaper to buy.

    Because to the rarity of the vehicles stacked up waiting for the welders touch. Makes me sad.

    Never seen a capola on a Dizzy before. Would this of been a later add on? The picture above shows a Diamond T tank transporter being used to shift 1 RTR Centurians during an exercise - 1951. Courtesy of Mr P.A. Lockett

    I love the stories from my Dad of the stuff available in the early 80's and the price of the stuff! Great picture too!

    Did it ever come to Southport for paint, I have a memory of it in my uncles shed in Southport?

    What about the Explorer at Eden Camp (http://www.edencamp.co.uk/ ) Looks like it hasn't moved for a few years... (more pictures here http://www.military39-45.freeuk.com/update03/pres004.htm )

    I love the Martians, such a great looking truck. Here are some more pictures I found online of them in service.

    Some more Milly Mk1's for you guys...
  21. Austin
    Excellent. Looking forward to watching this restoration progress.

    I decided I would go and take some pictures of the International Harvester US air force coach thats been stood for about 10+ years thats near my house. Anyone know what year this is from? Any in preservation? Is this an old school bus dressed up to look like a USAF vehicle? Nobody was about to ask questions, so dont know if its for sale.
  23. Austin
    What a great looking truck. Looks like a rich mans Matador! :-D Any pictures of the restorable one?
  24. Austin
    Thank you Brooky. Thats a great shot, but isnt the one I was after. I love those split rim wheels, I wonder if they were fitted to the K9 too? Thanks again for your trouble.
  25. Austin
    *thread hijack* Don't suppose you happen to have taken a picture of a Austin K9 GS cargo truck from the same year as the MW was there? If so, any chance of a copy? Thanks.
