This is one of the vehicles entered in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1996.
It's a 1959 AEC Reliance with Plaxton Panorama bodywork, and the programme of the event said this about it:
'AEC Reliance, Plaxton Panorama, 1959 129 DPT
Entered by P. Salmon, Chapelthorpe, Wakefield
The vehicle was purchased new by E. Howe (Spennymore), a founder member of the OK Motor Group. Withdrawn from service in 1979. It was acquired for preservation in 1982.'
Several engines were available for the Reliance, and the DVLA record says that 129 DPT has the 7,790cc AEC AH470 diesel engine.
