Amazingly two pre-war Bristol doubledeckers survive. This one (GHT127) is in the open top form,
which following conversion after the war - when operated by Brighton, Hove & District - helped it to last longer
than its contemporaries. It is seen here ferrying passengers on trips from the Weston Helicopter
Museum on the occasion of the West of England August Rally. It carries Guide Friday livery and is
used on occasion on Bath City tours.

The K enjoyed something of a second coming in the eighties. It was used on Guide Friday
services and worked on a special occasion in London. It is seen approaching the award
dais at Showbus, Woburn Abbey.

The second surviving K, GHT154 also survived as an open topper, but has been reroofed and
painted in the Bristol City prewar colours of dark blue and white, as seen here at the 1998
Weston event.

The bus is seen four summers later at the Cardiff Centenary event in that city's centre.
