1964 AEC Regent V

This was one of the entrants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1995.

It's a former Bradford Corporation Transport 1964 AEC Regent V with a Metro Cammell body that was taken over by the West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive at the Local Government reorganisation in 1972. Later acquired by Transperience, and I understand that it is now owned by the Keighley Bus Museum Trust. A note in the programme of the event reads as follows:

AEC Regent V, Metro Cammell H40/30F, 1964             6220KW
West Yorkshire Transport Discovery Park
Entered by          Transperience, Bradford
New to Bradford City Transport in 1964, this vehicle was passed to WYPTE in 1972 and withdrawn in 1974. Was acquired by West Yorkshire Transport Trust in 1984 and is now part of the Transperience Fleet.
