Seddon Diesel 12-4
What is your favourite lorry of all time?
The firm of Foster and Seddon was formed in Salford in 1919 as motor coach distributors. Vehicle manufacture commenced in 1938 with diesel engined 6-ton vehicle. After the war limited production was resumed, with around eight to ten vehicles a week leaving the factory. New works at Oldham were acquired in 1946 and in 1951 the company became Seddon Diesel Vehicles Ltd. Seddon was the first company to employ a glassfibre for bonnets and cabs in 1954. "British Road Services" added the 12-ton gvw to their fleet. This 7.5 to payload model was powered by a choice of Leyland 370 or Perkins 6.534 6-cylinder diesel engines.
