I’ve always had a high regard for the AEC Mercury both from a driver’s and operator’s viewpoint. The fixed cab GM4 series was in production from 1954 until 1965 and approximately 13,000 were produced. The Ergomatic tilt cab series TGM4 was in production from 1965 until 1977 and some 16,000 were built. In those years the 4-wheel rigid played an important role in general haulage as well as own account fleets, being used on long distance as well as local work. Arguably the Mercury was one of AEC’s finest lorries and set the benchmark for the premium class four-wheeler market. Export versions were badged as AEC Monarch.
