Default austin k2y ambulance australia

Hi i have bee researching the 1941 ambo my brother has,
no military records of it remain but i can guess it was shipped to north africa, and left with Australian forces in 1942 arriving at the 2nd plat. 2nd Australian Ambulance Car Company in australia, serving until 1946 i know no more.
its a sad wreck, needs bits.

Hi Radek,
i am not good at posting pics on forums, so have sent e-mail,
one thing i did not mention in my brief sumery was the power take off was remove when in north africa or before and replaced with a one inch square drive, the hand brake linkage may also have been moved,
cheers
