Mick, I take your point and maybe the vast majority - or even all - of the viewers of these forums are 'tyre kickers', although I'm talking members of my forum, which is also free-to-view, not just one-time visitors. But so what?! They're here.
On the subject of early Austin pick-ups, I once saw an A35 pick-up at Beaulieu, which was apparently created to get around a daft tax that hit extra car passengers, but commercial vehicles were exempt. Two people were expected to cram into the 'bed' of the A35 and be exposed to the elements!
