Heads Up: Austin K2A GS Truck for sale

[Hanno Spoelstra]

This month ten years ago MLU member Henk Minne took delivery of his Austin K2. Sadly, Henk passed away last May. He had been a member of MLU since 2010 and was very active as a "lurker", partially because his command of the English language in writing was limited. Henk contributed to the upkeep of MLU on a regular basis.

Now the time has come to put Henk's beloved Austion K2 up for sale. I am posting this heads-up on behalf of his daughter.

More details will follow soon, so if you are interested - watch this space.

Regards,
Hanno

Can anyone supply more information on the use of the Austin K2A GS truck in Commonwealth service? As far as Henk can tell this type of truck was used only by the RAF and/or RN.
