In a busy Birmingham street sometime in the mid-fifties an Austin K2�s driver makes a kerb-side delivery, one of many in the busy day of a multi-drop delivery driver, an unsung hero, even today, of the modern world�s distribution network.

The Austin K was nicknamed �the Birmingham Bedford� because of its uncanny resemblance to its rival�s best selling offering in the light to medium weight market but which came first is anybody�s guess.

The little car in the foreground is a Standard Flying Nine of about 1937 and a rare convertible model, in the fifties and sixties the roads were still alive with pre-war cars before the advent of MOT testing which culled a lot of them,.My first car, in 1960, was a 1934 Austin 7 for which I paid �7.10 [ �7.50 decimal ], today �7.50 might buy me a couple of drinks in my local pub.

A painting like this of your favourite vehicle, British or American, in oils on canvas or board would cost about �2000.
