Alder Valley Ford A series
In the days before the Ford Transit and LDV Sherpa minibuses were the Cinderellas of the bus industry. Ford made some attempt with the A-series, which naturally saw greater use as a truck, though many local authorities found them useful for welfare services. Alexander produced a good bus body, as seen on Provincial 48 (NEL107P) which passed for service with Alder Valley.
