The Austin van was indeed promoted as the ‘Three Way’, produced not long after WWII, it was actually the precursor to the delivery van many manufacturers would later turn out. The brochure pics below show the layout and how easy the engine and gearbox unit was removed from the front for servicing. The name as Larry said came from it having double doors at rear and both sides. There was also an Ambulance/Hospital Tender model named the ‘Welfarer’. Franky.
Hi Franky This was Corbridge show some years ago. Regards Larry.
Ah that’s a nice example Larry and rare now I would think, that seems to be the Ambulance version with the side windows, they probably survived a bit better than the delivery vans which would have been worked hard eh. Cheers Franky.
I posted the top photo a few days ago, Storeys, Farmers, Springwell Village, second photo is the same Ford but with the cattle box on.
Storeys were pig fatteners and I think the high sides were to make it easier to keep swill bins on. IIRC they used to supply Cavan & Gray at Carlisle with a lot of pigs for slaughter.
