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 model has the registration OBB 236 and has the colour scheme as used during the 1950s.
