From Oxford to Morocco in an Austin K2 ambulance.

Recommended Posts

In the early 1960's students from Oxford University travelled from Oxford to Morocco in a 1944 Austin K2 Ambulance.

 

The trip was reported in "Payload" the Austin commercial vehicle magazine in a two page article in the May/June 1963 issue a copy of which was sold recently on Ebay.

 

I bid unsuccessfully,thinking it would not sell for very much and have now come to regret my low £5 bid as I would dearly like to read this article.

 

Oxford is my home town,I have a K2 and I have spent a little time in Morocco - I'm not proposing to repeat the trip but I would like to read the article.

 

Can anyone help with a photocopy or scan of this magazine article - perhaps even the purchaser ?

 

All reasonable expences would be covered if anyone can help with a copy. Any help in locating the magazine article or any other accounts of the trip would also be greatly appreciated.
