Did they get the number wrong in the film! (Now there's a little known fact.)

Alan,

That number was in a batch that was never issued.....and the census number in Radek's post from a film clip was also ficticious.

i like the feed back, cheers.
in the film ica the k2y has six stud split rim wheels, the axle pattern chev so these have to be C8A/X axles, better view when they take the wheel off. it should be noted that, the axles fit straight on to the austin chassis, check dia,s for HUP chassis and Austin.

i did think that the chassis was C30, but the axles would be wrong. or
i have a C15A long wheel base ( 137" ) australian ambulance ( not much left of it)/Users/
there are a lot of differences from the book to the film, beer different, name of the german, love affaire sergeant and nurse.

The final scene of that film -which I liked very much- was not filmed in Alexandria/Egypt but in Tripoli/Libya. The buildings are still existing today at the so called Algeria Square opposite the former cathedral (which is now a mosque).
