This Daimler CB was rebodied by Barton in 1954. Happily, the style chosen was a replica of their first charabanc. The chassis is as early as 1912 and is seen at the Robin Hood rally on July 11th 1971.

This vehicle is a Dennis 2-tonner fitted with a replica 19-seat charabanc body. It is presumed the chassis was originally a lorry. Thanks to Andrew Colebourne for providing this information.

The Blue Bus Daimler COG5/40 with Willowbrook body takes a rest at an unknown location, 3rd November 1968.

Chesterfield were big Crossley users and their saloons worked some very interesting rural routes. Still owned by Alan Smalley now as it was at the Robin Hood rally on 11th July 1971 is 8 (NRA 708).

County 70 in as withdrawn condition.

County 70 is here posed in its native territory in what looks to me like Emley village, home of the TV mast that fell down. Roath Dock was not a a County destination, more a Cardiff one!

At the very first Crich Transport Extravaganza on 1st September 1968 is County 70. Next to it is a far more interesting Guy, Huddersfield 191 which was a 27 foot long Arab IV with exposed radiator, 6LX engine and semi-automatic gearbox. An awesome beast!

County 70 meets another Guy Arab in the form of Darlington 86 (OHN 496), an Arab III with Roberts body.

This Doncaster lowbridge Regent is 135 and seen at the St. Leger Run on 3rd June 1973.

The Douglas pre-war AEC Regent bought for preservation by Roy Marshall, seen by the arches in Huddersfield on 19th October 1968. I think the Huddersfield utility seen behind still lives there!

Arriving at the Robin Hood run in Nottingham on 11th July 1971 is this Eastern National Bristol L 3900 (KNO 603) which doesn't seem to be with us any more.

Happily still very active is this AEC Regal III 0962 JTB 749, seen on a visit to Crich.

No Heart of the Pennines Rally was complete without Halifax Regent III 277 (BCP 671), seen here in 1973.

Huddersfield 217 shares reminiscences with West Bridgford Regent III 21, as the Huddersfield CWA6 spent many years working for that small UDC near Nottingham.

A new vehicle at the Huddersfield rally in 1969 was Leeds 159 (PUB 159G), a Daimler Fleetline with the Roe body that became the Leeds standard.

A very well-known but still striking vehicle is Midland Red 3301, a 1948 C1 with Duple C30C body.

Seen at the 1971 Crich Extravaganza is Midland Red 4830, next to Ashton PD2 LTC 767, which sadly only survived in preservation a few years.

After sale by Red and White, this PS1 was converted for Cheshire Homes, with wheelchair lift and other features. It was later bought for preservation and restored to Red and White livery as seen here. This vehicle is still active.

Notionally, at least, the last true Crossley chassis belonged to Rotherham 213 which is still preserved, but has not been an active vehicle at all. Unfortunate, for such a historic vehicle.

Seen in 1972 is this Royal Blue Bristol LS coach 1291.

The 1976 Crich Extravaganza sees SHMD 61, a Daimler CVD6/Northern Counties, next to a former Glasgow AEC Regent V SGD 497. The SHMD Daimler requires a lot of work to get it roadworthy, the Glasgow Regent was never preserved.

Beatifully repainted by Oldham Corporation was this Southdown PD2/Leyland 381 (JCD 81). How can such a magnificent vehicle end up being scrapped? This was one of its first outings at the 1969 Huddersfield event.

West Riding 995 was still in service when photographed at Sandtoft on 12th September 1971. It was new to County Motors, who were partly owned by West Riding.

Wigan 81 is a Leyland Tiger TS4 with now-unique Santus bodywork.
