David,
First photo is of two Austin 10hp Utilities and the second photo is not a Tilly, but a Morris 12hp model Y, there were military ambulance versions, but this looks like a van.

Caption?
What can you guys say about this wonderful photo that proves that gender is no barrier to getting automotive hands dirty? I assume that it's a Morris engine with SU carb?

Caption?
Austin [10hp?]...my later father-in-law's best friend had one of these post-war, which he repainted silver.
What are these lovely ladies, doing driver training, saying? They had an eclectic mix of Wolseley, Austin cars & Tillies, Austin and Bedford ambulances, Bedford MW & OX, and Morris-Commercial C.2 dual-control vehicles to 'play' with. |

Re: Caption?
Hi David,
this is "Austin 8AP military tourer" it is possible send me pictures of the silver one. The civilian 8Hp is similer as the military 8AP. Thanks Radek Quote:

and the rare tilly based on the Z type van, never seen one of these in a combat photo so presume they were built for training and base use

restoration of my Austin
It took 6 years to finish this project. Time was an essential key, which I did not have. The last years a professional finished the restoration to a roadworthy vehicle. This year I hope to make it complete with some minor features, such as rifle clip etc.
How far are you with your restoration? cheers Arjan

Looks superb Arjan, I have noticed you in TT. Do you know your chassis number to work out a serial number? Ron

#21

|

WD number
Your Tilly is also a beauty.
Mine does has a WD-number. It's only shown at the rear and driverside. John Simpson of the tilly Register was so kind to figure it out from the chassisnumber. Cheers Arjan

John Simpson is a good guy. I've been in touch with him several times, and he was kind enough to send me some Tilly Texts containing data I was seeking. I in turn sent him my Rootes wartime document. |

Ah! Arjan, I was worried that you didn't have a serial number and I also have the list to work it out. It looks even better from that side with the number in place. Ron

I was lucky I could buy the complete Wheels&Tracks. But thanks very much for the offer. The Tilly Register has a website, which I "webmaster". I receive often email about new found Tillys or questions. Some manuals are digital available on the sites about the Tillys. Cheers Arjan
