Certainly wouldn’t win any beauty contests!

And it looks like it could have experienced cooling problems with a lack of a grille? Cheers Dennis.

Hi Dennis, it must have been a fine mesh grill mustn’t it, that can’t quite be seen cos of the angle of the photo, otherwise you are bang on!

Funny little motors these Albions Dave,they had the 4 potter engine underslung and set back under the chassis so I suppose they didn’t need a grille.Bridges Transport of Preston ran a lot both parcel van and flat models IIRC. Cheers Dennis.

And this was a smart motor in it’s day,AEC MK3 Mammoth Major TGU 387,3600 gall tank.
A E Evans bought this very motor and others like it secondhand.

A Graham Edge photo.

We had a few of those, great old motors, ratchet hand brake :open_mouth:
A mate was delivering fuel oil to Halifax swimming baths in the late 60’s, parked on a hill and somehow he’d left the handbake in the fully back position, jumps out to couple up to the storage tank, handbrake dropped forward, (they were a heavy bit of kit) , brakes came off and away it went, by itself, down the street. :blush: :blush: It did a lot of damage before a wall finally stopped it.

Yeah John another one that went to G.B . the list gets longer!!!

A few more under the Phillips banner, there were several decent sized quality companies operating as AD’s, have they all gone now ?

I think so the last one in the n/east to go was Pearts.
