Trucks? Sunbeam made cars and Aero Engines, a handful of bus and coach chassis and (mainly) Trolleybus chassis, not one commercial vehicle?Stephen Allcroft (talk) 13:33, 13 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have said buses were commercial vehicles. Am I wrong? Anyway I have switched it to Wikiproject Buses. Will that be OK? Eddaido (talk) 02:11, 14 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If you are going to get ratings from people who are interested in trolleybuses, moving it onto the buses project is likely to give you more ratings than leaving it where it was. Stephen Allcroft (talk) 16:54, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. Sorry you were unable to fix it. You should write to editor Bob1960evens about the trucks. Eddaido (talk) 21:50, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It was added to WP:Trucks because it was one of a series of articles about milk floats. It was only after I started that I discovered they had been prolific at making trolleybuses too. The cars and aero engines were made by Sunbeam Motor Car Company, which has its own article. I would argue that milk floats are commercial vehicles, and they were made between 1937 and 1949. Unfortunately, there are no pictures, as I cannot find one which is not in copyright. Bob1960evens (talk) 07:44, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Have added trucks. I had the same problem with photos of milk floats. Eddaido (talk) 00:49, 18 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Legal entities[edit]

Hi, Please would Forlaw82 discuss "edit to reflect article about an organisation that traded through several legal entities, not about one legal entity" on this talk page. Thanks Eddaido (talk) 02:44, 12 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article is really about SCV as an organisation and not the legal entity (i.e. company 294186). The company on its own would not be notable enough for an article, but what it did as the vehicle through which SCV operated is. That after SCV ceased, company 294186 was cranked up again within the British Leyland structure (presumably after a period of being dormant) is only worthy of the incidental note it has received.

As it stands, the infobox indicates that the subject of the article traded from 1934 until 1996, when it actually traded from 1931 until closing in the 1960/70s. Bit like the legal entity that underpinned Central Trains [1] has not been deregistered, yet it ceased trading in 2007. It would be misleading to suggest CT it is still active.
