Carrying the name of the company's founder on its rear luggage doors, a trademark of this fleet, this Harrington Cavalier is typical of the vehicles used by the company in the 'sixties. The famous grey, green and cream livery of the fleet is emphasised by the lines of this stylish coach which is on service 4 to Clacton. |

In the darker shade of green adopted by the company in the late 'sixties to early 'seventies, these large vehicles were used for tour duties both at home and abroad. This version, built on a Leyland chassis, displays the Grey Green fleet name on its front blind. This vehicle is also available as a De-luxe model. |

There was always a Bedford presence in the George Ewer fleet and this coach shows the type of vehicle favoured in the late' fifties to early 'sixties. With the attractive sweeping styling and "butterfly" radiator grill, this Vega is depicted on a journey from London, to Ramsgate and Margate. |

The classic and evocative shape of the Bedford OB with Duple body, is an ideal addition to the Grey Green fleet and is superbly captured in this Exclusive First Editions model. HYP 560 is depicted en route to Clacton, a common destination for this North London company, who have offered varied services since 1885. |

A reminder that many bus companies ran commercial fleets too. This Bedford TK with attractive Luton body, boldly displays the Grey Green name on its sides. One of many in a large fleet, NCF 780G was used for carrying excess luggage when the coach's hold was full on the Prinz Ferry contract. Later in its life, this example was also used as a mobile canteen and so had a varied career. |

Grey Green now operate as part of the Cowie group, although this Pointer has not been graced with any corporate names. In the modern interpretation of the green and grey so well recognised by enthusiasts, M950 LYR, fleet number 950 is on route 173 to East Beckton. Interesting points to note are that it carries the London Transport Bus Pass scheme stickers on its front and nearside. |
