Details: Mercedes-Benz 307D Curtain-sided truck 2429M ended up with bus company Allco based in North West London and was seen at their Ruislip premises in the mid 1990s. It had been reregistered A820AEC, presumably due to the operator's fondness for the AEC marque, and had acquired an illuminated LONDON TRANSPORT URGENT sign above the cab, most likely from one of the Ford A-series trucks like 2135F. An earlier picture showed this feature with traces of red paint still visible. The AEC logos are apparent on the front and sides but there was also outline lettering for ALLCO BUSPARTS. Other vehicles present included an ex-LCBS RB-class coach and a Renault van with former Routemaster registration VLT125.
