AEC Regent

I took this photograph at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1996.

It's a 1955 AEC Regent III, a former Huddersfield Corporation bus, and the programme of the event said this about the vehicle:

AEC Regent III, East Lancs L55R Body, 1955                                               JVH 373

Huddersfield Corporation 243

Entered by     E.G.Sykes, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire

The last lowbridge bus to operate in the fleet. Recently returned to the rally scene after a

fifteen year absence. Withdrawn from service 1970.
