Bedford VALs with Duple Vega Major coachwork and the the amazing number of 52 seats.

Orange Luxury Coaches was an active subsidiary of Grey-Green for many years and its livery may
have been a contributor to the inspiration for the Grey-Green Buses livery. Indeed the original bus

The third major component of the Grey-Green coach fleet was a more recent acquisition - World-Wide
coaches. Indeed, when LGY198K was seen at Showbus in 1975, it was not part of the George Ewer (Grey- Green)
group. World-Wide were well known as an earlier purchaser of Mercedes vehicles and had some
distinctive Plaxton bodied Mercs.
