Q-Ball ◊ 2014-08-07 06:18	didn't Austin make this type?
dsl ◊ 2014-08-07 10:34	Yes, but so did Morris. Unless anyone can give a definite ID, I would default this one to Morris to match the other ambulance.
jcb ◊ 2014-08-07 10:47	Weren't there some grill differences or was this just early models ?
Sunbar ◊ 2014-08-07 10:56	Both ambulances, FG and LD, have the early 'Morris only' grille, (later the Austin grille was used for both Austin and Morris). -- Last edit: 2014-08-07 10:57:03
Sunbar ◊ 2014-08-07 11:46	dsl wrote Not white - any idea what colour? My guess is blue-grey, although there are a lot of other possibilites. Cream most common , green unusual, light blue, blue or dark blue fairly common - etc.

Sunbar ◊ 2014-08-08 12:08	September 1954 for introduction of Austin and Morris LD with the horizontal grilles. Previously the Morris 30cwt van from September 1952 to September 1954 had the original Morris vertical grille similar to the J-type van. The Morris 'LD1' model name was introduced for the first time in July 1953.
