zodiac ◊ 2022-10-16 17:29	Aparently "Ld LPTB70" reffers to the all Leyland built trolley bus class K2 if MY 1938 https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=LPTB70 ...or possibly class F1 if MY 1937. Link to "redrosecollections.lancashire.gov.uk" -- Last edit: 2022-10-16 17:34:04

In this case it is a Leyland built body, seemingly, and may therefore have been built in the Dick, Kerr works in Preston. https://www.mylearning.org/stories/dick-kerrs-ladies-fc/708? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick,_Kerr_%26_Co. -- Last edit: 2022-10-16 18:58:38

zodiac ◊ 2022-10-16 19:48	johnfromstaffs wrote Model Year! On a trolley bus! I might have been clear as mud as always. What I tried to say is that the bus made in 1937 has another shape of the moulding around the rear wheels than the bus made in 1938. Perhaps the moulding was only made on a prototype, I don't know.

We didn’t do it as we couldn’t afford to change things that frequently, and for the first ten years after WW2 the industry could sell every car it could make. This accounts for the absolute load of junk that the average British car became. The other point to recall is that the Motor Show was held in the autumn of each year, at which anything new was introduced. The factories stopped work for one or two weeks each August, an army of skilled men, tool makers, fitters, machine erectors would swoop in and make any changes to “the track” and associated machines, and there would then be testing to ensure that everything worked. The revised cars, if revisions were made, would then be available for sale by motor show time. -- Last edit: 2022-10-16 20:09:15
