I've got a photograph of Fowler Ada and Aveling roller George side by side at an early rally, I didn't know Tayler bros rallied George but I guess the camera never lies so they must have done.
What's the history of Aveling Barford Southend Jack? |

She was driven back to,Wimbish in one day her top speed being little more than walking speed ,an epic journey . Saw active commercial,use before sold into preservation Returned after an absence of 30 ish years Was purchased couple of years ago by K Swann Barford and Perkins roller nicknamed by the yard folks " turf turf " so called because of its unique exhaust note ,purchased by Taylor's in commercial days ,but saw little if any use Was rescued from neglect by the late Dr Teverson and is still owned by the family it is thought to be one of if not the oldest surviving motor rollers with its original engine and drive train intact Cheers martin |
