GAM216
297 (GAM216) was one of a batch of 3 Portsmouth Aviation bodied rear entrance 32 seat coaches on Bristol L6B chassis delivered in 1950. Unlike similar vehicles delivered to Hants & Dorset, these escaped rebodying in later life as full front buses. 297 survived into preservation and is seen here on display at Showbus 80 at Thorpe Park.

Wilts & Dorset Bristol RELL TRU947J Seen in interesting company in July 2000 is 620 (TRU947J) a dual purpose RELL6G. Its original purchase stemming from the time when Hants & Dorset and Wilts & Dorset were under common management, hence the Bournemouth registration. The bus is seen at the Alton rally setting off for a run to Basingstoke.
 
Wilts & Dorset LH AFB585V Once in the Bristol Omnibus fleet, the Bristol LH is preserved in Wilts & Dorset colours. On transfer to W&D it had its front end modified so that it could be driven on to the Sandbanks ferry without grounding. The bus is seen at the 2001 Cobham Rally.
