• The only survivor of its type • Original factory body • Restored (bills available) • Electric starter and Zenith carburettor fitted • Present ownership since 2020 Once the largest commercial vehicle company in the British Empire, Albion was established in December 1899 in Finnieston Street, Glasgow by Arrol-Johnston émigrés Dr Thomas Blackwood Murray and Norman Fulton.
The firm manufactured cars to begin with, concentrating on its commercial vehicle business from the end of 1913 onwards.
Albion's motto 'Sure As The Sunrise', which reflected its reputation for dependability, inspired the distinctive design that featured on the radiator and badges of its many models.
After its acquisition by Leyland in 1957, Albion's independence gradually diminished and by the mid-1990s the firm was making axles only.
Today, the Biggar Albion Foundation, based in Lanarkshire, Scotland looks after The Albion Club and The Albion Archive.
