This AEC Monarch was built around 1940 and She is well overdue Her retiremnt, but She is still working very hard tugging around a “ Old Tyme Fair “ for Harris’s Still a Family Concern, the driver told me you have to be a fit as a Ox and have nerves of steel to drive the “Old Girl” You have to stand up to apply the brakes and they don’t work that well !!! Gotta crash the gearbox and She tends to wander on the road a lot, but the driver informed me reassuringly that She’s good for towing

LOL...what a great story, and I hope only about half of it is true!! If not, maybe they'd be better to put it up on blocks and sell tickets to hear the engine run!! Great shot of it, by the way :)

"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon

Hi Colin, great looking vehicle and to me perfect composure! Some great colours in this photo too, was it taken locally?
