WITHOUT RESERVEChassis number 71569B - JGD426 was first registered on May 18th 1951 in Glasgow and is one of two Albion FT521 s built by a local coachbuilder for the City of Glasgow Police, as a Black Mariah Prisoner Transport Vehicle. This vehicle has an infamous claim to fame for taking some of Scotlands most notorious criminals on their last short journey to the Gallows, one such was PETER MANUAL, an American born notorious SCOTTISH SERIAL KILLER who was convicted of murdering a total of seven people across Lanarkshire between January 1956 and his arrest in January 1958. During the course of Police investigations Peter Manual was to anonymously send Christmas and Birthday cards to the Detective leading the inquiry "to keep him on his toes". As he went to the gallows Peter Manuals last words were alleged to be "turn up the radio and I will go quietly". He was the third to last person to be hanged in Scotland and was transported to the Gallows at Barlinnie for execution by Prison Hangman Harry Allen on July 11th 1958. The story has recently been the subject of the three part ITV crime drama "IN PLAIN SIGHT". JGD426 has also appeared on film, featuring in the 2008 Scottish adventure comedy "STONE OF DESTINY" the fascinating true story of a real life Scottish Robin Hood. College student Ian Hamilton was a dedicated nationalist who deeply resented England s subjugation of Scotland. With the help of three fellow students in 1950 Hamilton managed to reignite Scottish national pride with a daring raid on the very heart of England. On a day to day basis JGD426 was used as regular transport for prisoners travelling between Barlinnie and Glasgow Sheriff Court and for security purposes was fitted with one man cells located just behind the driver. JGD426 was also to be used in the event of riots when offenders would be handcuffed to the wooden slats on the bench seats. Originally fitted with a EN272 petrol engine driven through a four speed crash gearbox, the vehicle is now fitted with a Perkins four cylinder 3.5 236 Diesel engine and fully synchronised gearbox due to the unavailability of of spares for the original units. After 11 years of sterling service Glasgow Police decided to dispose of the vehicle during 1962 at Auction and JGD426 was purchased by a Fruit and Vegetable Merchant who ultilised the vehicle around the sprawlling housing estates of Glasgow plying his wares. In recent years JGD426 was in the hands of a well respected Albion enthusiast appearing at several shows and vintage road runs. JGD426 Miles:TBC Keepers:6 Year:1951 MOT: Doors:2 Color:Blue
