This batch of Blackburn Crossley-bodied Guy Arab IIIs was the last of this traditional Manchester style of bodywork in service. 131 was particularly smart in 1970 as it had just had its body rebuilt (using the upper deck of 128) following a low bridge accident. Most undertakings would have scrapped a twenty year old accident victim!

Stockport 361 never got preserved, although many Stockport PDs did. It is owned by SELNEC in this 1970 view but there is little evidence of the fact.

The famous first production Atlantean, well before it was preserved. It is seen here in 1969 before it came under the control of Merseyside PTE.
