This is one of the participants in the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.
It's a 1954 AEC Regent III that was delivered new to the York Pullman Bus Company in 1954 and withdrawn from service in 1970. After a short period with Terry Robinson it was acquired by Tony Peart in 1971 and it was he who entered the vehicle for this Rally. It was bequeathed to the Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society on Tony Peart's death in 2006 and is now at the Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum, though not currently on display. A note in the programme of the event reads as follows:
AEC Regent III, Roe H58RD, 1954 JDN668
York Pullman 64
Entered by A. Peart, Doncaster
Acquired by present owner for preservation in 1971, following severe damage to roof in gantry accident.
