1958 Albion Chieftain [CH3] or 1959 Albion Victor [VT19N]. Its difficult to be certain about the wheelbase but it looks like the shorter Chieftain. |

Unusual to see an integral van body an a LAD cab. |

Considering the date of this film, there is a remarkably tidy looking Victor Series 1F on the left. |

After watching the Youtube video its been shot over a number of months (winter through summer at least). However considering the Victor's appearance, it makes me think it was actually filmed over a number of years even a decade. Perhaps it was routine to film occasionally from the roof for someone to develop camera skills? Confirmed here From 1967 onwards, trainee camera operators were given scraps of mute Eastmancolour film stock on which to practice their cinematography. From the roof of their Marylebone HQ, shots were taken of the streets below, only later edited together (by unit veteran John Legard) with additional footage taken by experienced BTF cinematographers Ron Craigen and James Ritchie. http://www.screenonline.org.uk/film/id/1283523/index.html -- Last edit: 2017-08-05 13:14:17 |

My own 1958 Victor, a very low mileage car but nine years old when I bought it for £110, self destructed remarkably rapidly and was scrapped after mot failure about eighteen months later. It had still only done about 45k miles from new when the terminal rot got it. I had known the car, and its owner, from new and it had been garaged, pampered and not used in foul weather; until I got it! -- Last edit: 2017-08-05 13:35:09 |

I lived in an area predominately known for being Ford and Vauxhall owners: I would say seven to ten years was about normal for the Victor [F] after that I doubt I saw one in use after 1968 (less than twelve years old). |
