AlbionVenturer 9.9 litre CX 37

B137 is seen squeezing past B138 while testing a proposed new service in the cities eastern suburbs. Rear view of registration No FYS 520 Fleet No B138, front view of registration No FYS 519 Fleet No B137. Nice advert for ‘Bisto’ gravy powderThe final Venturer models featured Albion’s larger 9.9 litre engine and were designated CX 37 type, appearing in 1949. The very last of the line were five Weymann bodied examples placed in service by Glasgow corporation in 1953. This view distinctly shows the final version of the Venturer radiator and when this bus is compared with the orignal Venturer’s of twenty years before, it is easy to see why Albion had the reputation of being conservative to the point of being old-fasioned in their outlook and general design.
