AEC Q Type London Red Bus 1932, 1933, 1934, 1935, 1936

AEC Q Type


What is your favourite bus of all time?

The revolutionary Q type design was produced in 1932 for service in London. The AEC Q type design featured a diesel engine mounted slightly inclined on the offside chassis. The positioning of the engine in this manner enabled the whole of the body floor to be utilised for passengers so that as many as 37 could be seated within the width of 2.29 metres (7 1/2 ft) and 8.38 metres (27 1/2 ft) length. The production models of this type were all single deckers with all-metal bodywork constructed by Park Royal Vehicles Limited. Probably too far ahead of its time, the Q type didn't find favour with many operators and sadly production ceased in 1936.

MG TC 1935-1955

MG TC 1935-1955


What is your favourite car of all time?


Classic MG TC 1935-1955


If asked to name a model that typified the classic sports-car, then the chances are that the majority would suggest one or other of the T-series MGs. The T-Series, with their sweeping winglines, fold-flat windscreens, cut-away doors and headlamps hung on the radiator, were for many a glorious introduction to open two-seater motoring. Production of the M.G. TC began just five weeks after the Second World War had ended. Offered at a basic price of £375 the model ran until 1949 by which time some 10,000 TCs had been assembled. Fitted with a 1250cc four-cylinder engine producing 54bhp, the model's top speed was around 77mph (124km/h) with 0-60mph (0-96km/h) coming up in 23 seconds.
