This was one of the single deck buses taking part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.
It's a 1958 Seddon Mark 19 with Harrington Wayfarer body entered by Thornes Independent Limited of Bubwith. After the chassis was exhibited at the 1958 Commercial Motor Show at Earls Court VHO 200 was purchased by Liss & District (Creamline) of Bordon, Hampshire who kept it for two years before selling it to Thornes. The programme of the event said this about the vehicle:
'Seddon Mark 19, Harrington Wayfarer, C41F, 1958 VHO 200
Thornes of Bubwith 35
Entered by Thornes Motor Services Ltd, Bubwith, Selby
This vehicle has recently been returned to full PCV status by its owners
following a period of eighteen years open storage on their premises.'
