I am no nearer with the AEC cabs though since I can’t find the copy of Classic & Vintage Commercials which had an article about AEC cabs.The AEC’s are MkIII Mammoth Major Eights. The cabs themselves are coachbuilt by a number of companies that carried out this work around the country. Only the chassis and front scuttle would be taken to the customers chosen Coachbuilder for the cab and body to be built and fitted following AEC prints. The later '‘Tin Front’ models were still MkIII’s but had the rounded front to give the model an updated look. Both models here. Franky.
I had two regular MK3 Mammoth Majors,TWR 573 was ex Harold Wood and had a Hampshire Car Bodies cab.The other one was TGJ 530,ex Shell Mex and BP with an identical cab to the other one I’ve posted.
Both are Pod Robinson photos.
