It's a 1939 Bristol K5G, provided new to the North Western Road Car Company Limited with fleet number 952 in May 1939, rebodied with a Willowbrook L27/26R body in November 1951 (and given the new fleet number 432), and taken out of service in July 1967. According to the DVLA it has a 7 litre diesel engine - presumably the Gardner 5-cylinder 5LW unit. The programme of the event said this:
AJA 152 Bristol K5G, Williowbrook 1939, Entered by J,Pollock, Marple, Cheshire. Following initial restoration some years ago, this vehicle is now undergoing a further period of renovation.
