This vehicle took part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.
It's a 1972 Bedford SB, and the DVLA says it has a 5.4 litre diesel engine which means it should be an SB5 model with Bedford's own engine. Perkins and Leyland engines of larger capacities were also used for the Bedford SB. The programme of the event said this about the vehicle:
Bedford SB, Plaxton Panorama C41F, 1972 TNE 14K
Entered by 3rd Newton Scouts, Newton, Hyde
After use by several local coach firms, this vehicle was bought by the scouts
in 1985 and is used for trips to camp sites and other outings.
The buslistsontheweb.co.uk site (last updated 13 June 2019) says the vehicle is now owned by Finglands of Rusholme.
