Now I have finished sorting of military Austin K30, K2 and K3 pictures.

I have only picture for 21 - 23 survives Austins.

How many left?

Radek

Are the windscreen frames for the K30 and for the K6 the same. I have the same problems on my K30. Still I have part restored frames but it isn´t good. :-(

Has Bedfords the cab longer than the Austins? Look on the doors windows. Austin has only one sliding down and the bedford has this one and the small triagel window.

Radek

Many thanks Graham.

And here is another one.

This two are in Australia.

and the picture. :-))

Here is another one alive K3. If somebody know the owner please let me know.

Radek

Austin,

what a fantastic project. Glad to see she found a buyer, lets hope she gets restored

cheers

G506

What I know the K6 is still in running condition - not restored but only for moving around the home. :-))

The owner is the megical. :-)

Colin, this looks as your lorry in the past.

P.S. I thing only a few of Austin K30, K2, K3 are serviving. The K5 and K6 to. :-(

Hello

 

Sorry i dont have any dimensions, i just know it should be smaller

There doesnt seem to be much info on the K2 GS lorry, and i certainly havent seen any photos, so its great to see some on here!

Perhaps someone should try and get a K2 GS register going!?!

Would love to see some pics of yours!

 

Colin

Colin, if you would like any pictures please contact me on my own email. I have any downloaded from internet. I start collected it 8 year ago.

I will send you the chart of my Austin manuals to.

You are right, only a few information are about the "K" GS lorries.

I don´t know about the register, but I am thinking about it. But I have only pictures of the lorries without the names of the owners. :-(

Radek

Hello

 

Thought you might like to see "Lucy" my 1943 Austin K2 GS lorry, i bought it from Steve Hindle a couple of years ago at the East Of England military museum.

I know the bodys to long, and i might get round to shortening it one day, but it is rather useful for getting all my display stuff in!

 

Colin

Oh, this is something for me. :-) Nice!!!!

Do you know the corect dimensions of the GS body? I have rebuilded body to. I would like make it corect, but I haven´t the dimensions. I have only any old pictures and manuals.

Radek

Does anyone know the correct way to tie the doors together with the loose cords? Every one I look at is different, but the must be a "proper" method - that works? Some pics might help also if you have any?

 

ta very much.

What do you thing, the small ropes?

I am using this method.

Radek

Hi,

mybe somebody take the parts on the Beltring.

Radek

What do you thing? It is a new british tank camo. :-) :-)

I need the oil filter for my K30 and K2 to. The old one was AC.

Radek

I have found the link on the MLU forum

I have found this Ariel on the BSA forum. Picture is from Normandy.

Hi Malcolm,

well. :-)

and what the shock absorbers?! They are on bouth axles.

Don´t worry, I know what it is when somebody make the lorry to own demension and look. :-)

Radek

Hey guys, I have checked the dimensions of the chassis and it is infact a K2. Don't mind the cab, in Malta you will find bedfords with austin cabs, leylands with isuzu cabs. fords with toyota engines etc... In Malta nothing is standard.

 

Malcolm

As promised photos of the ambulance from malta. You might notice that there's nothing left from the ambulance body.

 

Malcolm

Hi Malcolm

I wouldn´t take the illusion, but how can you identify that it is the Austin K2/Y Ambulance.

On the chassis is lorry cab, it looks like as GS lorry.

1st, take the measures of the chassis!! It looks like the K2 chassis or any more. The K2 has 192" and the K3 has 225" and 6/16"

2nd, find the shock suspenders, or the holes for the suspenders on the chasis, the axles have for the suspenders the eyes. Only the K2/Y Ambulance theyr have.

3th, the chassis No. will help more

Radek

Look on the ebay! The price is from 4,5GBP and more (any are for the 25GBP)

:-) interesting

Hi Malcolm,

no all ambulances in the register are in good shape.
