The second daily "mail car" - if all these shots are the same one it has the Royal Mail logo so was presumably red. But I think the luggage in roof rack changes, so may be 2 different arrivals being filmed. Albion grille badge. Can't read the plate but looks AB 1234 format starting with G - if GG for Glasgow = 1930-33, GM Motherwell & Wishaw was 1920-47(!!), and GS Perthshire 1928-41

 Looks "GD" to me. Left side is straight and right side is rounded.

 Albion, looks like a bus built on light truck chassis, rather than purpose built bus chassis.

/vehicle_196039-Albion-30-cwt-LB24-1925.html Earlier, but demonstrates radiator design.

Albions didn't change that often or that much!


Motherwell and Wishaw two letter series lasted until 1959, which commenced with GM 9924.

 The inverted 'stirrup' type headlamp mount on the driver's side makes me think it originated from the 1920s; so probably another 1925-1933 Albion 30 cwt LB24?

 With the small enamelled badge this radiator design was first introduced on the bus chassis and later the truck chassis (both LB24) source: http://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=958 the larger sunburst radiator full width badge almost certainly is later.

'GD' as a registration suggested by 'Skywatcher68' looks right July 1925 to March 1928.
