East Kent Breakdown Tender PFN865.
This AEC Regent V started life in June 1959 as a Double Decker half cab (but with full front) and sliding front entrance Park Royal bodywork.
By 1974 it was relegated to East Kent driver training duties.
By 1975 it had lost its roof, been painted into National White with a red stripe and was noted at Victoria Coach Station, London.
By 1980 it had been cut down further to resemble the vehicle seen here, painted all over yellow and was in quite a battered state working for Maidston & District.
Somehow,the vehicle ended up with Go Goodiwins in Manchester but was sold again in 2016.
Now 2017 It is seen here, newly restored and in the South Yorkshire Transport Museum, Aldwarke, Rotherham.
