truckface ◊ 2014-08-04 11:42	Austin K2 Loadstar?
Sunbar ◊ 2014-08-04 12:10	Not K2 Loadstar I think, but the K4 Loadstar 4-5 tonner looks like the eight-stud wheel. Registration looks to be only 2-3 years old when filmed? But truck looks considerably older or well worn a wrecker or recovery lorry thats been re-registered possibly?
JCB ◊ 2014-08-04 12:10	Yes but bigger K3 or K4
Sunbar ◊ 2014-08-04 12:12	Snap
Sunbar ◊ 2014-08-04 12:21	JCB wrote Yes but bigger K3 or K4 K3 Loadstar did not exist I believe. Introduced in 1949 the series II K4 Loadstar was a 2-tonner or 4-5 tonner only (unless introduced later but unlikely). The series I Austin K3 was only a wartime 1939-45 truck either civilian type or military K3, after 1946 the K3 became the K4 truck as a 4-5 tonner in long wheelbase, and short wheelbase tipper and tractor as far as I can determine. Plus steel shortages limited production significantly and there appeared to be a significant number of ex-wartime 3-tonners that were re-conditioned or just put into civilian use.

Sunbar ◊ 2014-08-04 12:32	Thanks, dsl. The fog-light didn't help when they re-positioned the number plate.
DidierF ◊ 2014-08-04 14:20	Used as the cheapest Deus ex machina possible. Or sword of Justice, to moralize the end of the movie. Ts-ts-ts… Do these help?
Sunbar ◊ 2014-08-04 15:39	Definitely eight-stud wheels and long wheelbase - K4 Loadstar 4-5 Ton 158" wheelbase drop-side truck
