les freathy Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 I thought it would be interesting to run a series of photos on lessr known british military vehicles there were lots of them from the early years through ww2 into the post war period. they would be types where it could be difficult on individual vehicles to sustain a good thread which would run out of steam quickly but grouped together there will plenty of meat in it. Some can be prototypes others run of the mill that seem to get little publicity for instance in WW2 Dennis, Maudslay and dodge kew built various vehicles for military use, so to start a little known Britsh attempt to match the US Dodge 3/4 ton weapons carrier was this prototype Austin K7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 The K7 makes sense. Following the election of a Labour (For USA= Commie) Goverment, supply of spares etc was radically reduced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
