1969 Daimler Fleetline

This was one of the participants in the Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally in Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1993.

It’s not listed in the programme of the event, but it participated in 1996 when the programme had this note about it:

 

Daimler Fleetline, Park Royal Body                                                                   NNB 598H

Entered by     Hycote, Royton, Oldham, Lancs

Former Operator - Manchester City Transport. Hycote recently purchased this vehicle to save it from going to scrap. The company intend to use it for exhibition purposes but retain the exterior vintage livery of Manchester City Transport. The vehicle has been exposed to weather for 5 years, hence the poor paint finish.
