BAE 592 is an example of a 4-ton chassis. These were bodied both as buses and as small lorries as shown here and were manufactured in the 1920s . I have known this particular example for many years as it resided in a showman's yard near my home when I was a child. I did try and purchase it once, but it languished derelict until rescued and restored by a local road stone company who owned a nearby quarry. |
| The next volume production chassis to follw the two- and four-ton chassis was the B-type, manufactured from 1931 to 1935, also known as the "Superbus". An early example for Bristol city services is shown here. |
