Mid Warwickshire Motors.
One of the most 'colourful' (in several senses of the word!) Independents in central England as the 1970s turned into the 1980s was Mid Warwickshire Motors of Balsall Common. Their fleet contained a vast mix of heavyweight new and used buses and coaches. This shot was taken at a yard to the rear of a transport cafe, the location of which I might recognise if I passed by, but can't recall any more about it than that. In the picture is a representative cross section of the fleet, AEC Reliance coaches bought new, an ex Birmingham Corp AEC Swift and three Alexander W Type Ex Tyne & Wear Leyland Panthers.
Shortly afterwards, the Mid Warwickshire name was dropped, they then became Heart of England Tours.
