[attachment=5]1.JPG[/attachment] well this 1966 aec once belong to bartons bus and coach company notts area.
right from the start it was never ment to carry passengers ,i guess it was a free spirit… longing for the open road as a truck ?
yes you did hear me say truck.
well after getting out of a day trip to the sea side the aec decided to do a runner and found it self having the ass- end being taken out and converted into a stock car carrying vehicle ?
now you would think well thats the end of that … ?
the AEC was left out in the cold at John Lanes tyres of stockport where it lay its head down peacefully to rot and become a worm fest.
then one day in the summer of 2009 whilst at johns tyre yard ken and ray walsh spotted this sorry site rotting away in the undergroth and asked john what he was doing with it …well the rest is history.
except to say it now lives happly ever after as a truck no a coach no a living quarters “oh” you make your own mind up when you meet us next time at a truck rally near you.
