THE 1999 EFE SHOWBUS RALLY GALLERY
Rally numbers 500 to 599
 Lodekka 50th Anniversary Display A fine collection of Lodekkas, in the distance Crosville DLB978, EN 2849, Cambus Open topper FLF452, Top Deck ex BH&D 79, winning H&D 1540, UC 712, LRCC 2318 & 2378 and ECOC LKD229. |
 Three VRs, all with curved screens and 'unusual liveries'. First, in patriotic red, white and blue, is Hampshire Bus 3315, then winning best local authority bus from the London Borough of Redbridge, former Maidstone & District 5885 and still in United Counties deregulation livery, preserved 794. |
 Unexpected entry: Olympian/Northern Counties in Maidstone & District's final 'deregulation' livery - before Arriva arrived - fitted very nicely in the line up of preserved M&D vehicles, including Regent V DH478, Nimbus SO308, Leopards 3456 and 2816 and, new to the rally scene, Ailsa 5385. |
 An evocative grouping of former Southdown vehicles, including two of the classic Northern Counties bodied Queen Mary PD3s. They are flanked by a Willowbrook Leopard and, nearest the camera, another Southdown classic: a Brighton built Harrington bodied touring coach. |
