The
Biggar Albion Foundation
The Biggar Albion Foundation is based in Biggar,
Lanarkshire, Scotland. The Foundation is responsible
for the Albion Club, the Albion Archive, the Biggar
Rally and the Albion Museum at North Back Road,
which houses a collection of historic Albion
vehicles and units. Other historic Albion vehicles
are owned and housed at other locations from time to
time. The Albion Club publishes The Albion Magazine
quarterly. Membership is open to all interested in
Albions, whether owners or not. A small stock of
Albion spares is also kept by The Club. The
Foundation works closely with the Albion Vehicle
Preservation Trust, which owns two Albion coaches.
The AVPT keeps the Register of Preserved Albions and
operates this website on behalf of both
organisations.
The Albion Magazine now incorporates the Albion
Vehicle Preservation Trust Newsletter. The Albion
Archive is available to members and is one of the
most comprehensive commercial vehicle archives in
the UK. More details on the Albion Club and Albion
Archive can be found on the
Contact Us page.
The
Albion Vehicle Preservation Trust
The Albion Vehicle Preservation Trust (Scottish
Charity No. SC028791) was formed in 1967 to
purchase, garage and rally one of the last Albion
heavy coaches, a 1950 Valiant, and in 1991 a 1967
Viking coach doubled the fleet. In a joint
arrangement with the Albion Club, the AVPT keeps the
register of preserved Albions and has so far
collected details of over 1,000 Albions surviving
worldwide. If you have a preserved Albion, or if you
discover an unrestored Albion anywhere, please send
details of chassis number, registration number and
owner to us - details are on the
Contact Us page.
