Sunbar ◊ 2007-01-24 10:49	AEC Mandator as this one, I think, but not 100% certain as Leyland used the same cab. -- Last edit: 2007-01-24 10:49:49
DIEHARD ◊ 2007-01-24 11:05	I would say Dennis at first sight, but I am not sure..
2491tj ◊ 2007-01-24 14:48	its a Leyland...note the small panel above the "smiley" mouth has the letters LEYLAND on it.
Sunbar ◊ 2007-01-24 15:13	Leyland Beaver or Comet etc. about 1968 then .... needs to be confirmed.
garco ◊ 2007-01-24 20:20	I think Beaver according to this: http://www.omnibussociety.wellington.net.nz/fleet/thetruck.html
Sunbar ◊ 2007-01-24 20:32	Beaver is OK for me also. Leyland, AEC and Albion 'Ergonomic' tilt cab from 1964. -- Last edit: 2007-01-24 20:36:56

londonitalian ◊ 2007-09-05 03:47	I think I had an matchbox model of this as a kid with the ESSO tanker back! Its quite a modern looking truck for a 64`.. it could pass as mid 70`s!
