Sunbar ◊ 2015-09-06 22:19	1936 not possible as 1938 is the introduction of Austin K2... GXY for April 1944 onwards? -- Last edit: 2015-09-06 22:19:15

Sunbar ◊ 2015-09-06 22:38	Another IMCDb listing here with GXY 794 registration, so conversions carried out in batches I believe.... /vehicle_202411-Austin-K2-Ambulance-1948.html edit: CM Archive has 'semi-streamlined' style (as here) from 1947 onwards with 'square-style' bodies pre-dating them (so 1945-46).
