Welcome to the Albion Clubs website

Albion was established in 1899 in Glasgow, the second city of the Empire, already renowned worldwide for its engineering excellence. Albion's motto "Sure As The Sunrise" was adapted into the logo which featured on the radiator and badges of their models for many years and helped to establish their identity wherever they operated throughout the world.

 

 


This is the joint website of the Albion Vehicle Preservation Trust and the Biggar Albion Foundation. These two organisations today look after Albion owners, enthusiasts and enquirers.

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 1000 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.

The Biggar Albion Foundation

The Biggar Albion Foundation (Scottish Charity No. SC031203) was formed in 2001 from beginnings in the Biggar Museum Trust. It looks after The Albion Club and The Albion Archive and is based in Biggar, Lanarkshire, Scotland where Thomas Blackwood Murray (co-founder of Albion) originally lived and where he built and tested the first Albion car. Membership is open to all interested in Albions, whether owners or not.
More details on the Albion Club and Albion Archive can be found on the Contact Us page.
