Founded in 1899, Albion Motors was a Scottish automobile manufacturer that also specialised in commercial vehicles. Sadly the company and was sold under British Leyland, but it is notable for producing iconic vehicles such as the Albion Ventura double decker bus. In production from 1939 until 1954, the Albion FT3 was in fact the company's longest lived model, and was originally powered by six-cylinder petrol engines. However, out of practicality and rising fuel prices many were later converted to diesel.

 

This FT3 was originally restored in 1986 and has been a regular on the show and Historic Vehicle Rally seen. Now offered for sale at Bonhams forthcoming sale on the 20th March 1921 at Bicester Heritage Sale with an auction guide price of £ 8,000 - 12,000
