Details: Despite 182C being lettered for the Works Manager, Aldenham Works in this view dated August 1949, most visitors to this site should recognise the location as being the main entrance to Chiswick Works, now very much changed! 182C was one of the large batch of Leyland Cub lorries delivered in 1936, and was bodied as an open bolster lorry. Several originally bore fleetnumbers in series with the Cubs used as buses but with the addition of an L suffix, 182C having been C101L.
This lorry was also illustrated in the Capital Transport service vehicle book, when it was factory-fresh. Comparing the two photos, life-guards have been added within the wheelbase, together with a bar across the radiator and some sort of framework on the cab roof. Any suggestions for what this might be?
