1951 AEC Mammoth Major

This is a photograph that I took in Heaton Park, Manchester at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic vehicle Rally in September 1988.

It's a 1951 AEC Mammoth Major and this is what the programme of the event said about it:

SL 9724 AEC MAMMOTH MAJOR MK3. 1951. Entered by R.C.Cresswell, Hilderstone, Staffordshire. Initially owned by the Air Ministry, this vehicle later passed to a contractor from whom the present owner bought it in 1976. During the following three years it was restored to the condition seen today.
