Heritage Commercials

Heritage Commercials magazine is Britain’s brightest full colour magazine for classic and vintage commercial vehicle enthusiasts. It celebrates the days when roads were still quiet and lorry driving was fun as well as hard work. But Heritage Commercials is not just about old drivers – its strong historical content looks at the various vehicle manufacturers, while it keeps up to date with the current preservation scene with stories of beautifully restored vehicles of a bygone age, and their owners, being featured. The magazine also regularly features light commercials – vans to you and me – buses and coaches, fire engines and military vehicles, as well as keeping in touch with the ever growing number of superb long distance road runs and events held throughout the year. This is living history on the move!

Merryweather Emergency Tender • We have to confess that we have always loved the design of the 1950s AEC/Maudslay fire engine (appliance), so when the opportunity came along to write an article on a period engine from the London Fire Brigade fleet, we jumped at the chance, as this was a unique vehicle and if there is one thing we like as well as a 1950s AEC Maudslay appliance, it is one built as an Emergency Tender! says Mike and Julie Blenkinsop.
