Hi Oily, from what I have read about that Co" which aint much, they Vulcan, started making Vehicles at Southport In 1907, as the Vulcan Motor and Engineering Ltd, then from about 1914 It started Making Light Lorries, about 2/4 tonnes ish" Cheers Chris.

Thanks for the pic CJA1 they were quite a company at one time it would seem, building cars, lorries, armoured vehicles and buses, also back as far as 1924 experimented with automatic transmission.
Couple more old ads.

The ERF 8 Wheeler/extract is taken from a Bob Tuck article, very smart with the Air-horns etc, unusual for the day The other pics show Mr Duckett in the year 2000, still earning a living. He was clearly what is sadly gone from our industry now, a Character I wonder if he is still around? Regards Chris
