AUSTIN K2/Y AMBULANCE

AUSTIN K2/Y AMBULANCE
One of the most famous vehicles of its type, the Austin K2/Y Ambulance was used extensively by
British and Commonwealth forces throughout WWII, both in the combat zones of the world and on
the home front. Built around the chassis of the Austin K30 light truck, the casualty compartment was
developed in conjunction with the Royal Army Medical Corps and therefore proved to be highly
functional. Able to carry either four stretcher cases or ten seated casualties, one of the main reasons
why the K2/Y was so successful was because it was so rugged and reliable, requiring only a
minimum of maintenance - an ambulance should always be ready when you need it.
The rear cabin was typically constructed of painted canvas on
a timber frame, with the highly visible
red cross on a white disk
positioned prominently on all
sides to hopefully ensure the
vehicles occupants didn’t
come under fire.
