Is the numberplate ever visible? (it's at the top, here's it's obstructed) -- Last edit: 2014-01-20 13:47:44 |

Unfortunately it isn't, it's always obstructed... |

I'd imagine it's a Dennis Elite TI like here http://maltabuses.piwigo.com/picture?/7481 . Possibly with a Geesink conversion http://www.classicrefusetrucks.com/archive/news0110.html . When searching I typed in 'Dennis bin truck' and got Usama BIN Laden as a suggestion. Not my intentional answer, but rather funny... |

Wow, Dennis still makes trucks. I didn't know that. Forgive me my ignorance but are there any other British trucks currently made? Seddon is gone I think. |

Yes Dennis still make trucks AFIK , may be the only British name British built truck left ? They do not make fire appliances anymore which is a great shame. Dennis coaches ( seperate company ) are also still made in Guildford. The Leyland Trucks Ltd factory in Leyland assembles (quote) the DAF CF range . From their website- 'DAF LF 'International truck of the Year 2002'. Designed, developed and assembled at Leyland, the LF is a series of distribution trucks in the 6 to 21 tonnes GVW weight segments and compliments the heavier models in the DAF range, the CF and XF.' http://www.leylandtrucksltd.co.uk/contact.asp -- Last edit: 2014-01-20 15:49:15 |

It seems ERF name was discontinued in 2007 and Seddon-Atkinson somewhere around 2005-2006. |

Yes ERF and Foden ( closed 2006 ) the last two mainstream British name trucks on the road , they can still be seen in use but dissapearing fast . Seddon-Atkinson latterly only made refuse trucks and I think these were imported and re-badged Dennis Eagle website - http://www.dennis-eagle.co.uk/elite2 Alexander Dennis buses and coaches website- http://www.alexander-dennis.com/ -- Last edit: 2014-01-20 16:04:40 |

@dsl: Am I right if I'd say Albion still makes chassis parts, or something similar, at Clydebank. I seem to remember having seen something like that when I was exploring Glasgow with surroundings back in 2003. -- Last edit: 2014-01-20 16:33:49 |

Here're a few more pictures of Dennis Elite TI's http://www.flickr.com/photos/didbygraham/1195781817/ (with later front wings), http://www.flickr.com/photos/ragtag04/412999529/ , http://www.flickr.com/photos/23137045@N00/6505083365/ and another one with similar conversion http://www.flickr.com/photos/67638741@N00/2613263760/ . Especially this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/22041090@N02/9902075403/ . Years made: 1992 (introduction of first 'low entry cab') until replaced by Phoenix 2 in 2001. I'm not entirely sure about what to call them, Dennis Eagle, Dennis Elite, Dennis Eagle Elite, Dennis Eagle Phoenix 1 or Dennis Eagle Elite Phoenix 1? -- Last edit: 2014-01-21 10:25:50 |

Heres a bit about Albion , written in 1998 but interesting ( to me anyway ! ) Albion was created five years ago by a management buy-out team and has broadened its customer base beyond its core business with Leyland Trucks, DAF Trucks and LDV (vans), acquiring new contracts with Perkins (Caterpillar), Rover, Rolls-Royce, Volvo and Renault VI. American Axle & Manufacturing was formed in 1994 when Dauch and two investors purchased assets and facilities from General Motors that had previously comprised GM's driveline, propeller shaft and forging unit. American Axle & Manufacturing has been focused on growing its core GM business while expanding its sales to OEMs such as Ford, Mercedes Benz, Isuzu and others. Today, AAM does business with seven OEMs and more than a dozen other customers. "Incorporating Albion into AAM means that, in one stroke, we acquire new capabilities -- in particular, a proven track record in international market development," said Mike Straney, AAM's new Vice President-Europe, who has established a business office in Glasgow, Scotland, within the Albion Automotive site on South Street, Scotstoun. In meetings today with Albion employees, Straney and Albion Chief Executive Jim Hastie explained that Albion will be maintained as an independent operating unit of AAM with its three manufacturing facilities in Scotstoun (Glasgow), Spurrier (Lancashire) and Farington (Lancashire). Hastie will continue in his leadership role as Albion Chief Executive, reporting to Straney. -- Last edit: 2014-01-21 16:31:21 |

@JCB: Thank you for the information. It seems the plant was closer to the city centre than I remember. I recall taking the comuter train to the Singer halt (station?), became interested why it had the name of a sewing machine, and found out about the huge quantities of machines having been made there, and the beautiful clock. Also that someone told me about the Albion works, and the reminiscents of it, making me walking around investigating. @Trollface: The HGV is most definitely not a Shelvoke&Drewry but a Dennis http://www.flickr.com/photos/22041090@N02/9902075403/ . The Shelvoke&Drewry's (SD) stopped being made in the early 90's and soon disappeared, apart from a few fire engines. Their last effort looked like this http://www.classicrefusetrucks.com/albums/SD/SD6.html which doesn't look the same. Please have a look at the door handles, the curvature of the side window behind the door, the door mirrors and a lot of other details. The only SD I've seen in the reality (as far as I know) is one at Madeira Drive in Brighton after the Commercial London to Brighton run in 2002. But I've seen many Dennis. -- Last edit: 2014-01-22 21:45:02 |

Sorry - only just spotted this flag, but can't give you anything useful anyway. JCB's way ahead of my knowledge level which is much more car-based .... |

Actually the only origin UK-truck, you can see nowadays in GB. |

Don't Dennis just do Bin Lorries and bus chassis these days? DAF still have a large factory at Leyland and use Cummins engines made in Darlington. |
