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. 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. The van was discontinued in 1954, by which time over 26,500 had been manufactured.This is the Eric Oliver/ Denis Jenkinson K8 which they used for their 1949 FIM Sidecar World Championship winning season.
