Magnificent Seddon.
Purely from the point of view of personal taste, if I had to pick a favourite motor at yesterday's Lincoln event it would be this Seddon. Don't get me wrong, there were certainly many exhibits worthy of being singled out for praise, but these Scottish motorway express coaches with their iconic Alexander 'M Type' bodies have always captured my imagination from the days of seeing them on the M6 as a youth.
Adding to the interest is the fact that MSF 750P is built on a Seddon chassis from the time of SBG's courting of that manufacturer after Leyland refused to produce what the operator really wanted. The Pennine VII chassis was powered by a mid mounted 10.45 litre Gardner 6HLXB.
