Albion A10 lorry, 1919; chassis no. 1963K; registration no. XA 8315. The Albion Motor Car Company Ltd was founded in 1899 by Thomas Blackwood Murray, Norman Osborne Fulton and John F Henderson. Initially the company focused on producing motor cars, however in 1909 it was decided to concentrate on the production of commercial vehicles, and in 1910 the A10 was produced. The A10 was produced from 1910 to 1926 and was of significant importance during the First World War with approximately 6,000 supplied to the War Office during this time. This is an example of a typical A10, a 3 ton truck powered by a 32hp engine using chain drive to the rear wheels and most importantly the chassis is bolted together not welded, making them easier to repair.
