Ecurie Ecosse Commer TS3 Transporter

This vehicle was in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1999.

This is the 1960 Ecurie Ecosse Commer TS3 Transporter, on top of which are a Jaguar C-Type, and a Jaguar D-Type that I can't identify. The Jaguar C-Type is chassis XKC042 and was provided new to Ecurie Ecosse in 1953.

Ecurie Ecosse Commer TS3 Transporter

These vehicles were in the paddock at the Coys International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1994.

This is the 1960 Ecurie Ecosse Commer TS3 Transporter, on top of which are the 1959 Tojeiro Jaguar and behind it Lynx replica Jaguar D-Type. The car at the side of the Transporter is a Jaguar Lynx Eventer, an early 1990s Jaguar XJS, one of about 67 that were converted to 3-door shooting brakes by coachbuilders Lynx Engineering.

I've shown photographs of the Ecurie Ecosse Transporter twice before, on 16 October 2013 and 16 April 2015.

Albion FT21N

This lorry took part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park in September 1996.

It's a 1950 Albion FT21N, and the programme of the event said this about it:

Albion FT21N, 1950                                                                           HSR 112

Entered by J Butterworth, Littleborough

Originally operated by Angus & Kincardine County Council as a Library van for delivery of new books to schools, etc. Afterwards used as a Horse Box in Wetherby, then fitted with the drop-side body now carried. Bought in a run down state by the present owner, it was re-painted in Ripponden & District livery in 1992. The owner being a Ripponden & District driver.

There's a link here to an interesting little booklet about HSR 112 and its then owner Jack Butterworth produced by the Queensbury Old Farts Motor Club. It's well worth a read.

The lorry behind it in the photograph is another in the Ripponden & District livery, a 1964 Commer TS3 Parcel Van, and this vehicle was entered for the event by the Ripponden & District company. Its registration number is DWU 650B.
