Crossley built the first buses with Birmingham's "new" look. 2489 has been a stalwart representative of the Crossley marque on the rally scene for many years and can be seen next to a contemporary Stockport example.

Burton's 63 is a Guy Arab III with Guy's own coachwork. It was still in daily use by the Education Department at this time.

Cardiff 46 spent most of its life working the routes from Cardiff to Merthyr and Tredegar, very long routes for Crossley double-deck operation. It has an Alexander body supplied by Scottish Commercial, which caused a lot of confusion in earlier days.

Gilfords were never common but had a certain cachet. This is a 168OT model that was new to Ealing Direct Coaches.

Exeter 73 (JFJ 873) is one of two members of this batch of Weymann-bodied Daimler CVD6 saloons to have been bought for preservation.

ECW-bodied PD1s were quite common after the war, but most of them did not survive too long as they were timber-framed and only poor quality wood was available. Fortunately Hants and Dorset 1145 (GLJ 957) still survives.

Another Hants and Dorset vehicle was this standard Bristol K6B with ECW body.

London Transport TF77 is the only survivor of this unique batch of Leyland Tiger FECs, with underfloor engine. It has a Chiswick-built body.

Another vehicle which has been prominent on the rally scene during the intervening years is this Ribble TD5, rebodied by Alexander in 1949.

Silver Service have left a legacy of some fine vehicles in preservation. This Regal I with Willowbrook body has recently returned as a PSV in the colours of Burton's of Alfreton.

This Wallasey TD7 (which was new with a torque convertor) had the Metro-Cammell body rebuilt in an unusual way by the Police, who ran it for some years. It has been repainted in a livery similar to that originally used by Red and White, who had similar style bodies on prewar Regals.

Wigan 70 is a more conventional TD7 with Leyland's own body and that ubiquitous blind display.
