garco ◊ 2008-09-07 22:09	First one?
chris40 ◊ 2008-09-07 22:38	Apparently, yes. I thought we had similar trucks on the site, but they might have been Morrises, BMCs or BMC-Willèmes

Sunbar ◊ 2010-07-22 19:47	1961 Austin 45 (equivalent to the Morris FF).

Other than the AR-Online website and the TrucksPlanet section based on AR-Online itself, I can find nothing to confirm Austin 45 as a model name for the FF. It was possibly a contraction of Austin 4-5 tonner, as an Austin brochure shows Austin 504 as the model shortly after introduction in December 1959; the similarly named Austin 702 (7-ton) was introduced in September 1968 (CM Archive). -- Last edit: 2016-10-30 16:38:46
