It’s an Albion. does any body know the paint code for the desert sand colour for inside the cab same as Albions

Thanks for the gen Lance it was probably a nice spec for a 14ton gvw motor as the Comet units used the Eaton 2 speed axle IIRC. Sorry about the sand coloured paint can’t help you there ! But I recall the little 1966 Albion 4cyl 4 wheeler we ran in 70/71 was painted a shade of grey in the cab. Cheers Dennis.

Hi Lance ,
The colour for the Albion Ergo cab was Sandalwood , made by a company called Brolac , and I`m sure it was also used on Leylands , - including the L.A.D. cab . I hope this is of help to you . Good Luck .

Cheers ,

Bloody hell CWM , Brolac a name from the past, according to Google it is still made in Pakistan!
Lance, Could you ask one of the lads at the Hunter collection, I’m sure they would be bale to point you in the right direction.

■■■■■■■■■■ John sadly passed away this morning age 83

It’s always sorry to hear that another one of the “Old School” Drivers has passed away. I never met John but seen him about at shows ---- was he the lad with a Two Speed button on his walking stick ? So what was Johns back story as a driver when drivers had to be more than just the “Steering wheel Jockeys” of today ! Regards Dennis. PS how is Comet rebuild coming on ?

Very sad news about ■■■■■■■■■■ John

Heres the photograph I took of John giving everyone a practical demonstration at the Mayfield Cafe on how to use an Eaton Two-Speed control on a walking stick - aptly owned by Gerald Walker (Leyland 600`) .
