1913 McCurd vintage box van, engine start and run.

This ‘McCurd Lorry Manufacturing Co.’ Model C, 4-ton box van is now the only remaining example. It has a 4 cylinder 32.4 hp petrol engine. It was built in new premises on the Edgeware Road in the Dollis Hill area of Cricklewood, London in 1913. The McCurd is on loan to the Shuttleworth Collection from Tate and Lyle Sugar. Interestingly this McCurd box van featured in the film ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’. For more information visit www.shuttleworth.org.
