The K8 (3 Way) Van commenced production in 1947 and the van cost £535. It earned the name 3-Way due to the door configuration. To assist loading and unloading, it featured double doors on the near and offside, as well as opening near doors. With a payload of 25 cwt and a short wheelbase, it proved a very nippy vehicle for delivery purposes. The van was discontinued in 1954, by which time over 26,500 had been manufactured. Many were used as ambulances, which were known as the Austin Welfarer. In Deep Bronze Green livery with contrasting black paintwork, the model carries the finely detailed Civil Defence Corps crest on the sides, with gold lettering underneath. Additional detail includes a front AMBULANCE roofboard and a spotlight at bumper level below the front grille.The grille also features the Austin logo at the top in red on silver, repeated on the back in red on black. The 1:76 scale model is rounded off with a wealth of detailed chrome and black masking, finely decorating light clusters and Deep Bronze Green wheels.
