Leyland Compton Milk Float (Worlds Fastest Milkfloat) (1976) Engine 4200cc V8
Registration Number JFV 36 S (Preston)
This one is rather different to Ernies electric milk cart, rattling down the road. It is powered by a TVR V8 of 4200cc all alloy engine built to produce around 320bhp with a fast road cam and flat pistons. It has Jaguar front and rear axles, disc brakes, 22 inch alloy wheels, power steerind, Edelbrook twin cooling rad and fans. The body is of alloy and fibreglass with a body wrap
And at the time of this picture (probably still is) was Guiness World Record holder as the fastest Milk Float, with its record run timed at Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire on 25th June 2014 driven by Rob Gill as a promotion for Weetabix On the Go Brakfast Drinks
Morrison-Electricar was a British manufacturer of milk floats and other battery electric road vehicles (BERV). Their first vehicle was built for a bakery in 1933, and the company ceased to exist when it was finally sold to M & M Electric Vehicles in 1983. In 1948 Austin purchased a 50 per cent share of the company to form Austin Crompton Parkinson Electric Vehicles Ltd though the vehicles still carried their Morrison Electricar badges. Austin formed part of BMC in 1952 which became Leyland Motors in 1969 and finally British Leyland The electric vehicle business became Crompton Leyland Electricars Ltd. In 1972, British Leyland sold their share of the business to Hawker Siddeley, better known for aircraft manufacture, and the company became Crompton Electricars Ltd. Ten years later, Hawker Siddeley decided to sell the business, and it was bought by M & M Electric Vehicles, who were based in Atherstone, Warwickshire. This was effectively the end of Morrison-Electricar, although M & M subsequently adopted the Electricars name for the vehicles that they manufactured.
