Many of these chassis were actually built at the Maudslay factory in Alcester, but took the standard AEC model names such as Mammoth Major, Mandator, Mercury etc. Traditional Maudslay model names were resurrected for use on AEC chassis, for example Majestic, Merlin, Militant & Mogul, to name a few. The subject vehicle appears too lightweight to be a Mandator, therefore I suggest it could be a Maudslay Monarch Mk IIIA. I've put up a picture of one here http://www.aecsouthall.co.uk/mmonarch3_pke42.jpg for comparison. With reference to the GPO vehicle in Richard's photo, it is a Maudslay Mogul Mk IIIA. It's nice to have a heading for Maudslay! Neil -- Last edit: 2008-06-02 22:45:19
