AEC Mercury Lorry 1953
What is your favourite lorry of all time?
Introduced in 1953, the low-weight AEC Mercury, produced at Maudslay, near Alcester, brought a new style to AECs with its flush mounted headlamps and wide dummy radiator grille. Park Royal Vehicles built most of the cabs but there were numerous others from proprietary bodybuilders such as Duramin, Holmes and Bowyer Bros. At 12 tons gvw the Mercury was a full 8-tonner. It was powered by the new AV410 98bhp diesel although for customers wanting a larger engine, the 125bhp AV 470 was an option.
