Austin Welfarer Ambulance Nottingham Ambulance

Details

The K8 (3 Way) Van commenced production 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 near 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. Due to their size many were converted to ambulances this being a Nottingham version.
