Thats a LAD cabbed Dodge D308 series… man-tga
I used to drive one, 6/354, 5 speed + two speed axle, and power steering. Cracking little motor, used it with a solid bar to collect my Albion when I bought it in 1970. I’ve still got the Albion, but the D308 is long gone, wish I had it now!

Hi ! The Forster Albion Chieftain owned by Graham Forster organiser of the Border City Steam Fair at Carlisle next week end 2nd, 3rd & 4th June. The Oxo Albion van is owned and restored by Tyson Burridge. Albion LHH 171 was originally operated on Carlisle - London night trunk services by J&W Watt of Carlisle and ended up on an Oxfordshire farm before being rescued by a well known Carlisle auto-electrician who had a new cab built to the original drawings by the coachbuilder who built the original. This wagon has recently changed hands from an ex Burridge employee to Richard Gillham.

I was in Chipping Sodbury last Saturday afternoon and noticed in passing that the licensee of one of the pubs was called Febry a common name in that small town, Febry’s wagons were always well turned out the haulage fleet in a red livery and the tipper fleet in green.
The John Mason Leyland Comet recovery wagon was converted by that company from a furniture van to a wrecker. The cab was built by H.W. Woodward of Formby using an LAD scuttle and dash the coachwork incorporating Atkinson windcreens, owned by Cliff Dunabin.
