MCC first
MCC made the first 15 cwt WD prototype in 1934, using their C civilian range as a source for parts. The special WD rims were a collaboration with Dunlop and the WD. I have the article written by David Fletcher somewhere. The other makes , Guy, Bedford and Commer and much later on Fordson, more or less copied the MCC layout. The Austin is a new one to me !
