Froggy55 The AEC MK V was almost completely different from the MK111, the engineers started with an almost clean sheet instead of just updating the MK111, that`s why there is no MK1V. The whole story is in the book AEC Mammoth Major MKV and ERGOMATIC CAB RANGES in the Commercial Vehicles Archive Series by Graham Edge. Also I worked as a fitter for AEC at Aldenham. Hope this is of some help,

Remember owning one of these think FG with six cylinder engine ex Corral’s coal truck, had an alley body and I put a rack out over the cab for straw carting, when we were done the season put a horse container on it and sold it to a man from Wilton in Wiltshire and he used it for two shires and a plough to go to matches, MH moment that Buzzer.

That’s got a 6 pot diesel snout on Buzzer but it started life as a four pot or a petrol, it’s a lighter model on 6 stud wheels.

Some unusual trucks.
I dont recall ever seeing a Leyland like this and wondered if it was a prototype ?
Looks like it could be shell colours.

I thought the Bedford Val was the only twin-steer bus ever produced…
There was the Leyland Gnu coach that was built from the '30s onwards. Then there was a Leyland X7 trolleybus. See pics below! Robert

Don’t tell Bewick- he’ll claim it’s got an 8-pot Gardner!
