The ‘1926’ date on the caption is wrong.I think this Albion lorry model had a 4-speed 1 reverse gearbox.Engine options were:

Albion EN80D 6.97-Litre Petrol.
Albion EN85 7,81-Litre Petrol.
Gardner 5LW Diesel-Oil.
Gardner 6LW Diesel-Oil.

The Albion R549 was the normal control-bonneted version of the R559.

Thanks VALKYRIE. I can’t imagine what the Mack was used for but must have been lucrative to go to all that trouble.
Couldn’t half fancy a run in the Albion! Anyone know about Hudsons?
