Eyup John,that would have been handy in a MK5 MM or Mandator as you say,with a Fuller box would have been even handier.

Thought there would be some info back on that photo,Vic
I followed a mammoth major very similar to this back into Bradford last sunday afternoon it was a C reg in 2 tone blue with a red chassis i think it had a Park Royal cab and i noticed west yorkshire on the door but couldn`t see whereabouts it was from.Anyone know anything about it.It was probably on route from the Trans Pennine run at Harrogate and the way he was going down the hill into Apperley Bridge he had great faith in his brakes
adr:
According to the article this pic was taken from in 1993, this was the last AEC ever built, at that time it was owned by Kev Dennis.
And looking at it theres very little difference from the first ergo AECs which were made,never really improved i wonder how much Leyland had to do with that.The 1 pictured as an older grill on and an AEC badge which was replaced with a British Leyland badge in the early 70s.I wonder if its survived?

What was the Hp . . . bout 150?
Apparently you aren`t far away,they produced between 175 and 300bhp, in the naturally aspiriated form add a turbo and they put out between 300 bhp and 400 bhp.The Super Mammoth Major export model were powered by these engines middx.net/aec/units/engines1.htm
