For bus spotters.....


Recommended Posts

I spotted this Bristol open top bus in a farmyard yesterday. Does anyone know what model/year it might be, please?

A picture on Flickr suggests that this bus had been re-registered, having previously been MDL 953 (Southern Vectis 507).  Under the old system "AS" was Nairnshire, but the list on http://www.oldclassiccar.co.uk/registrations/dl.htm has no record of BAS being issued. The old two letter AS apparently sufficed for Nairnshire registrations from 1903 to 1964 !

BAS is definitely a re-reg. I have seen them on classic cars that people have stolen original registrations from for profit! The original registration is now probably owned by Michael Dennis Leivers!

REd, If the bus you saw was BAS 562 it would appear to be the same one as I photographed the other day - at the other end of the country.
