Furthermore there is no fleet number visible in the picture which can be linked to the vehicles shown in the list. Therefore the inference that this vehicle is an AEC because Parlorcars only ran AEC vehicles is unsound. The five vehicles listed are built on underfloor engined Reliance chassis. The apparent forward position of the front wheel does not suggest that this vehicle is built on such a chassis, although that may be as a result of the angle from which the picture is taken. -- Last edit: 2014-11-27 09:15:07
