I passed my one and only driving test on one of those Austin vans (late 1950’s). Ran it into a wall within 15 minutes of passing (black ice)

Did wonder what make the van was, any idea what model it is ?
Sorry to hear about the wall incident

They were Austin K8, commonly known as a “3 way”, as the standard factory van body had loading doors back and both sides. Back in the day a couple of my late brother’s mates drove them for laundries, a popular use for them, they both complained of poor brakes. Mind you they were all young lads then so drove a bit quick!

Thank you for the replies. Love the name on the breakdown motor.
Were they panel beaters ?

Me too. I think it was that model that my brother and I bought, in van form, in the early days of our small haulage firm back in the early 70s. Was a load of trouble though, not the make as such, just got a bad 'un.
But I could have done with that little reccer when I was banger racing around that time. We had a club and rented premises at Stapleford. near to Long Eaton stadium, but it was a running battle with the law to get the cars there and back on race days. With no trailer available we resorted to ambulance wheels which, being effectively 2 trailers, were illegal.

My Mum drove a flat bed Austin like that for my Grandfather as a back up driver for his green grocery round. I think it came off the road in the mid 60s. You can’t believe today just how busy a small green grocery business could have been back in that post war period before supermarkets. Grandfather also ran a 5 ton Commer with a long bonnet. That was about a 1948 truck and was taken off the road in about 1967. When those old trucks were scrapped (and replaced by an FG) they still looked remarkably tidy. Contrast to gravel tippers on other side of the family which looked tired by 3/4 years old.

Austin K8. The wall came off the better of the two…it was virtually undamaged, The Austin was ‘modified’
I was a van lad at Harrisons of Dewbury, it took the other drivers a long time to forget the incident …I’ve never forgotten it.

Thanks to pyewacket947v for the pics
Back in the '80s we spent a lot of Bank Holiday weekends at Blackmore Caravan Park nr Hanley Swan and the road between Broadway and Evesham was something else for orchard stalls either side of the road fruit and veg in abundance, unbeatable Victoria plums, last time I went along there early 2000s there was only one at the Evesham bypass end. Going back beyond the 1980s I remember the main carter from the Vale to the London markets being Marshalls of Evesham.
A couple of Evesham wagons.
