1947 Leyland Titan PD1

This was one of the vehicles taking part in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in September 1996 in Heaton Park, Manchester.
It's a former Warrington Corporation 1947 Leyland Titan PD1, and the programme of the event said this about it:

Leyland PD1, Leyland Body, 1947                                                                        EED 8
Entered by           R Hughes, Birchwood, Warrington
Former Operator - Warrington. New to Warrington Corporation in 1947, EED 8 later became the Driving vehicle. The current owner received this vehicle in 1976 and very slowly restored it to present condition.

I understand that in 2018 a fire destroyed all but the chassis, running gear and cab, but the owner was determined to set about restoring EED 8 once again.
