Description
AEC Lorries explores the story of lorry use in the last fifty years, showcasing the diverse configurations and uses of these vehicles. A key focus is on one of Britain's great manufacturers, AEC, renowned for their powerful engines and relative simplicity. AEC lorries have been highly regarded at home and abroad due to their robust engines and reliability. They were used by large and small fleets, capable of a wide range of tasks. Many AEC vehicles were exported to British Commonwealth countries, where they performed well in challenging conditions. The author considers the impact of AEC engines on the company's success. This book features 180 rare and unpublished images, offering a unique insight into one of Britain's most iconic lorry brands.
