FV1604A Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Wow, Did i open a can of worms when I saw the ad in HCVS. Thanks for all your posts. It gives the general MV population, an understanding of what is happening around them, perhaps, without their knowledge. When I mentioned the ad , I certainly had no idea of the amount of information available about this group. As far as I was concerned , there was a chance to preserve another K6 or certainly retain some parts for a preservation project! I had the chance to buy a K6 crash tender in 1984 and turned it down as just too much work, but now , of course, wish that , at least , we had bought it and kept it for spares. Anyway, best of luck to you potential buyers. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 From memory there is at least two big sheds full to bursting with different fire related vehicles in them. While there were also vehicles just sitting around outside. This was around six-seven years ago though so I can't comment on what it is like now, but looking at the photo's it doesn't look as if much has changed!!!

k2ant Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Nice to see such a great deal of interest in wartime Austin`s as when I had mine it was hard to get any info on them! Might as well add these old shots of my late K2 to this great gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 can you also send them to me K3 please. Actually, easiest thing to do is to get a copy of the B Vehicle Census list, published by Groucho Publishing, it is very useful. There are pages of numbers.
