Maudslay Maharajah 1950s

Maudslay Maharajah

What is your favourite lorry of all time?

The Maudslay Motor Co was formed in 1903, originally producing cars and light vans. A range of heavy goods vehicles was produced from 1921 and in 1939 a revised range was announced, although production did not begin until after 1945. In 1948 Maudslay was taken over by AEC, who discontinued the range and used the Maudslay plant to continue to build AECs under the Maudslay badge. One interesting feature of Maudslay lorries of this period was their model names, such as Maharajah for the six-wheeler and Meritor for the eight-wheeler. The last Maudslay-badged vehicle left the factory in late 1959.
