AEC grille?? Three axles, both rears doubled. Coachbuilt streamliner?? "London & the West Riding of Yorkshire" and "Bouts-Tillotson Transport Ltd"

Info from history of Hanson's Logistics:

"The haulage interests specialised in textile transportation. ... By 1929 this had increased to three times a week and in 1930 premises in Shoreditch, London, were acquired with nightly services Yorkshire to London and back using two diesel engine AEC Mammoth lorries. At that time Joseph Hanson amalgamated its long-distance services with IW Holdsworth of Halifax. Although the parent companies maintained separate autonomy, any company acquired in other cities, including property, was jointly owned. Local businesses were acquired nationwide and included: Queen Carriage Co, Blue and White, Grimshaw and Evans, William Burrill and, of great significance later, a major interest in the publicly-quoted Oswald Tillotson Ltd of Burnley in 1935, whose subsidiary transport interest was Bouts-Tillotson. Much of the initial growth was attributable to the London service and its nation-wide connections, “return loads” being the operational ethos."

 Bouts-Tillotson has few references in the CM archive in the 1930s, and mostly to do with the competition for business with the LMS railway.

Although Bouts-Tillotson Transport is the operating company its possible the truck was owned by another subsidiary.

The cab door looks to have different name? Sp...... Transport Ltd?

 Could it be a Renown LT chassis - somehow bits of the lower detailing seem bus-like?? Can't read any of the cab writing.

 ^ Yes dsl. It could be a source of investigation. It does somehow seem to be a very specialised cross between a goods vehicle and a passenger vehicle

 Another possibility a 1934 Thornycroft Stag 12-ton. Some few similarities but nothing to confirm it.

 Only just now found that here on imcdb, we already have a Bouts-Tillotson owned Mammoth Major 6 so likely this AEC is the same either Mk.I or Mk.II.

1935 AEC Mammoth Major 6 confirmed by the bar between the headlights and the front wheel design plus radiator with a central bar. A later Mk.II chassis likely for styled bodywork.

Also Oswald Tillotson was a Leyland dealer in Burnley from before WW1 up to about 1931 when he was “poached” by AEC. Oswald Tillotson also built truck bodies so likely they also were concerned with the streamlined body seen in 'Roadways'. http://www.leylandsociety.co.uk/publications/torque/pdf/Torque068.pdf
