Kromhout, for me, unheard of, so Wikipedia got a buzz and it turns out they were a very early manufacturing company in Holland, back in the days of wooden ships, kromhout meaning crooked timber, later various engine builds, with truck and bus manufacture, also Gardner engine build under licence, anyway a few pics.

Is this the same Coopers Metals who were from Swindon(I think), they used to have a contract with British Motor Corporation(one of the many names over the years) at Cowley, anyway cheers for the pic :smiley:

Totally different colours, Oily, but similar signwriting. Don’t know if this is significant?

Heres one in return for erfguy. :slight_smile: Hes sure to recognise this smart Albion.

Photographed at the recent Hethersgill Rally, Carlisle.

Cheers, cattle wagon man.

That’s a fine looking Albion cwm, a pristine example and a credit to her owner, cheers for that :smiley:

My motor was in for service today, so with a couple of hours to shove in and with weather dry and bright I was able to click a few, caught this one on the way home at Nth Kessock, hopefully recognisable to some of you.

Spotted a Trojan there, without doubt one of the worst motors I’ve ever driven, and I’ve driven a good few!

Hi erfguy,
Here`s the A.E.C. of F.Davidson you mentioned.
It was parked next to the Albion at Hethersgill Rally.

Cheers, cattle wagon man.

Unusual to see a Trojan in pick-up form: most of them seemed to be vans, a large proportion of which were from Brooke Bond tea. Weren’t they chain driven, or are my brain cells withering again? And I seem to remember that they were Perkins P4 powered.

Thanks Roy it looks nice. Eddie.

Nice one cwm :smiley: , another from the same stable, which I’ve posted before, but has a connection with your pic.

Yet another repeat :blush: but the livery detail makes it worthwhile.

Those were not chain driven but I think that the Pre War two stroke ones were. I am pretty certain that the engine was a Perkins P3, not a P4, just imagine coping with all that power!!! :slight_smile:

Pete.

Thanks, Pete. I knew I remembered “chain drive” from somewhere! They must have used a pretty hefty transmission to cope with all that poke from a P3. I’m now going to set my mind trying to think where and when I last saw a P3. Probably a lawnmower or a converted Reliant Robin!
