AEC Mandator V8

Softback

The fascinating story of the AEC
Mandator V8, available again to AEC
enthusiasts and those with an interest
in general transport history.
When the AEC Mandator V8 was
introduced in 1968 it carried with it
high hopes for the future of AEC and
the Leyland Group. Nothing remotely
like it had been produced before. Word
soon got around about its excellent
performance. However, just as word had
spread about the initial performance
of the model, so news soon travelled
about the problems arising in service,
and eventually the lorry was withdrawn
from sale.

Since the early 1970s when most of the
300 or so Mandator V8s sold in the UK
had been withdrawn, there has always
been a strong undercurrent of interest
shown in it.

AEC Mandator V8 has been out of print
for many years, and has been brought
back in 2016 to make this fascinating
story available again to AEC
enthusiasts and those with an interest
in general transport history.
