Austin Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 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!

6 X 6 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 There's one of these bodies that has been on a small holding near to Newport in South Wales for some years. It looks as though it may have been used as a shed/store. I drove past yesterday morning and it looks as though this site maybe being cleared........certainly, no sign of the goats that once lived there. If anyone is interested in following this up then PM me and I'll do my best to describe it's location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Now that is interesting any dates? He took it on the 1994 MVT Normandy tour, but I think it was completed several years prior to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 yet another K6 gantry, this is pictured in 1988 at Rushmoor rally. It was only sold off from Royal Navy service a short time earlier, used on a Naval Air Station I think. The front weight frame is not of the normal type, being lower and lighter.

Austin Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 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!)
