Collected today ,
my daughter's new wheelchair in Deep Purple ( well nearly ) and with the added extra " Track Wheel " . When going on rougher ground the track wheel supports the front of the chair with the front castors lifted clear of the ground makes for an easier and smoother ride .
The other major addition is the added drive on one side so she can hopefully go in more of a straight line if she wheels herself as she can only use one arm to propel herself .
Think a test drive somewhere is now needed although the weather is turning a lot colder now , we shall see !!

M) KYW 896 is an Austin K2/Y Ambulance
The Austin K2/Y is a British heavy military ambulance that was used by all Commonwealth services during the Second World War. Built by Austin, it was based on the civilian Austin K30 light truck, differing mainly by having simple canvas closures in place of driver's cab doors.
The K2/Y could take ten casualties sitting or four stretcher cases. The rear body, known as No. 2 Mk I/L was developed by the Royal Army Medical Corps and built by coachbuilder Mann Egerton. The interior dimensions were approximately 2.6 metres long, 2.0 metres wide and 1.7 metres high. At the rear of the vehicle there were two large doors. From the driver's cab the wounded could also be accessed through a small internal door with a seat. The exterior was mainly made from painted canvas.
