Oxford Diecast 76AK006 Austin K8 Threeway Van Terrys Springs

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. Used by Eric Oliver, the World Champion English Motorcycle racer, this van was used as a support vehicle on the circuits.
