Vulcan type VSD 2 ton lorry, 1926. Registration no. TU 3024, chassis no. 27/1774, engine no. 7126. Vulcan Motor and Engineering Co. was formed in 1903 by the Hapson brothers. After the First World War the company started to suffer due to a surplus of decommissioned army lorries on the market, and by 1924 the workforce had decreased from 1000 to 700. However in 1925 the War Department subsidy was introduced in an attempt to stimulate sales, whereby civilians would receive a subsidy when buying vehicles built to War Department specifications (on the condition that the vehicle could be commandeered for military use if required). This is a Vulcan VSD built in 1926 under this Government subsidy scheme. The VSD had been in production from 1920 and met War Department specifications; consequently Vulcan were able to continue the production of them until 1929.
