Austin pick up and car transporter 1935

[Frogeye]

I am trying to build the austin twin cam car transporter in 1/32nd scale from about 1935. I think the lorry is perhaps a 12/4  but I know very little about commercial vehicles. Does anyone have dimensions, wheelbase, track, height etc. that would at least get me up and running.

 

 

Any help appreciated

You could try the website Austin memories, there is a lot of info on that site.

 

Also if you want a 750 Twin Cam to go with it, you may want to go to 1/20 scale as there is a model of the twin cam that was made by Bellini. The manufacturer has long since stopped trading, but the models do come up on ebay from time to time and it is a very good quality white metal and photo-etch kit.

Thanks Flintstone

 

I have tried that site but not much help there I am afraid.

 

I have a twin cam 32nd scale slot car from George Turner which is excellent and I am now trying to scratchbuild the transporter vehicles.

Have you tried any of the Austin 7 devoted clubs and/or the Pre-War Austin Club?
