 This picture portrays the classic lines of the purpose built Nottingham body designed for the original Atlanteans and Fleetlines of the bid sixties. This retired example was brought by Len Wright Travel, a company then specialising in band buses - later expanding into London Buslines and Alder Valley. The vehicle was kitted out as a mobile exhibition unit and named 'SHOWBUS'. As such it attended a Hillingdon Showbus and was appropriately used as Rally Control. |
