dsl ◊ 2016-06-08 22:00	Fairly confident plate is HX 42xx = early 1932; if it's 43xx, 52xx or 53xx they were all 1932 as well.

So seems worth a page?? Sunbar wrote A rare one for IMCDb, definitely worth listing ......... and if we are lucky another will be along soon! AEC A-1 Class 'Diddler' Union Construction and Finance Co. body I'm guessing this 'Ford Eight' is the best picture but is there any better or different screen grab possible? Slightly different captures now compared to the Ford's pictures, but not really much gained. Have entered as AEC 663T A-1 Class which googles better than just A-1 Class and because we have a handful of 661T and 664T for it to sit beside, but this can be tweaked as wanted.

Its possible parts of these may be used for future documentaries or may have been used in the past.
