jcb ◊ 2014-07-09 15:04	Looks like a Wadham body like this AFS K2 conversion- Link to "archive.commercialmotor.com"
Sunbar ◊ 2014-07-09 16:25	Also seen here another AFS K2 conversion, /vehicle_202411-Austin-K2.html

johnfromstaffs ◊ 2014-07-09 16:40	Don' forget that Austin still built these post war.
jcb ◊ 2014-07-09 17:05	Yes I know, it could be a brand new Austin K2 but gut feeling says rebuild. -- Last edit: 2014-07-09 17:11:49
