AK001 - Lancashire Evening Post |
|
|
1:43 Scale |

Down at the other end of the Austin production line
from their prestige cars, came a succession of highly successful
commercial vehicles over the years, including the K8 (3 way) Van.
Production commenced in 1947 and the van cost £535. It earned the name
3-way due to the door configuration. To assist loading and unloading, it
featured double doors on the near and offside, as well as opening rear
doors. With a payload of 25 cwt and a short wheelbase, it proved a very
nippy vehicle for delivery purposes, including newspapers – as our model
confirms - where frequent drop-off was necessary. The van was
discontinued in 1954, by which time over 26,500 had been manufactured. Our 1:43 scale model of the K8 is also a new casting and in its initial Lancaster Evening Post livery, complete with advertising hoarding, is available now. Given the popularity of the Austin K8 during its period of manufacture, you'll be seeing it in various model guises over the next few months, all carefully researched by our team of experts. |
