Albion

What do you think. What can you tell me about the VK43? Superior bodied Albion Viking with no build plate in the front step well- as it no longer has a front step well.

Where would the VIN be stamped? 5 speed box and Leyland motor.


Apparently this bloke bought it off someone who knew little about it in Port Stevens.

Cheers.

Superior, Viking and Port Stephens, plus the red around the grille tell me it's probably ex Sid Fogg. Can't help you with VIN locations though sorry. Some old fleet listings for Sid Foggs Stockton from the '70's might help through elimination.

Probably pre-dates VINs, so you'd be looking for a small Albion/Leyland chassis plate. Often on the chassis itself around the front spring hangers. Probably also stamped into the chassis itself, but covered with paint.
