Ice Cold in Alex

[rupert condick]

i like how this goes on and on.
from looking at the film ICA, and some little knowledge of CMPs and Austin's it appears that 3 Austin k2y ambulances were used,
the 4x4 version used chev axles 6 bolt rims ( cmp ford and chev parts interchangeable ) so fords can have chev axles and vv.
As the chev axles will fit straight on. ( same axle spring centres )they have been fitted straight to the Austin's springs, rear sock mountings not used. bit of a rough job.
also the body is covered with plywood/hardboard rather than canvass,
it is an early 1940s model, with post 1942 electrical update. and updated POW holders to take Jerry cans, and later exhaust.
