1924 Albion Type 24 30CWT Delivery Van

This extremely rare Type 24 was first registered with Angus County Council licencing authority in 1924 and was restored in the early 1990s by a highly respected historic commercial vehicle and Albion enthusiast. It is well known in commercial vehicle circles and has participated in the HCVS London to Brighton Run and the Trans Pennine Run to Harrogate, as well as many other events, winning many premier awards along the way.

In current ownership for the last 7 years as part of a private collection, it comes with a V5 document but no other paperwork. The quality of the restoration however speaks for itself as it is close to perfection.

Albion products were the preferred choice of many grocery suppliers including Nestles, Huntley & Palmer and Lyons Teas amongst others, and a particularly valued customer was Edinburgh based McVitie & Price, manufacturers of digestive biscuits and Royal Warrant holders, in whose livery this vehicle is hand finished. The Type 24 Albion was powered by a sturdy 3.9-litre four-cylinder, side-valve engine. With an unladen weight slightly over two tons this sufficed to propel the Albion van comfortably at the then legal limit for Heavy Motor Cars of just 20mph.
