Hi shugg, It struggled with 20 ton on it,s back you had to pick your way about a bit ,coming from liverpool at the end of the east lancs they would n,t go up agecroft you had to round past the race cource and if going to sheffield you had to go to wakefield as going over thougoland was too hard ,having said that they still went up to scotland and down to devon all before the motorways ,when we got the AECmandators thing s changed they were a better motor altogether though father expected them to carry 30ton + .
Cheers Richard.

Thanks for your reply scud , Iam sure youll agree with me that what happened to a very good product like AEC , if this product had been developed properly AEC would still be with us and exported all over the world , British Leyland shown hang its head in shame !!! .
