	AK009 - Austin K8 North Thames Gas Board
	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 Ł535. 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. This North Thames Gas Version is the latest offering to the range.
