SOLVED: si_384 - Austin - FG K 30-K 40 - 1963

A rather unconventional access to the cabin. Which truck does it belong to? Who built it? What year is this illustration from? One point for the complete answer.

Yes, the pictures are from a 1963 brochure. There is another point going to France.
The cab design of the Austin / Morris FG had some positive aspects: Easy entry due to low-lying steps, the doors took up almost as little space as sliding doors when opened. The so-called "street view" windows allowed a view directly in front of the vehicle: easier manoeuvring, smaller "blind spot".
But unfortunately the cabin was quite narrow inside, the seats therefore quite narrow and it heated up quickly.
All good things are never together...
