Hi Larry,that invoice would be for a Chieftain like this one?
Aye it would have been, My mate who bought this one was his first Albion & he went on to run many more on local & distance work, He allways said that they were good motors, Regards Larry.

The Chieftain i own Larry is well engineered,it has not been restored its been preserved,only thing that was replaced was plate on side of engine for water jacket as this had gone rotten,what i really like about it is the nice positive gear change,looking thru its service records only breakdown it suffered was broken half shaft that occured climbing up hill in Broadwaters Kidderminster with 10.5 ton on!,not bad considering it was’nt retired till late 70’s
travelled about in one when i was a boy with father seemed to take a long time to get anywhere :
