Here are some of the NZ pictures of
AECs...all photos in the South Island. Feel free to use them on the site for the enjoyment of all.
A little query......in latter years (after about
1967/68) most AEC trucks in NZ were badged as (dare I say it in present
company?) Leylands. Would you still be interested in photos of these...there is no
mistaking the vehicles' parentage.
Webmaster replies: Hmmmmmm...send them to us and we'll have a little
conference to decide. In the meantime everybody, enjoy these excellent
pics. | |

at least two others abandoned nearby, the trailers from which had been converted to full dog trailers and were being used to transfer product to the nearby
railhead. |
