HW 9499
Bristol Omnibus Company Bristol L/ECW in Marine Parade, Weston super Mare on 162. Circa 1960. Originally built as a Bristol B in 1930 and rebuilt as an L in 1949. This was usual procedure to get around shortage of new buses. You rebuilt keeping the original chassis number and 'Hey presto' you had a new bus! Another duplicate from fellow MBF member Malcolm. Photographer unknown. One of eight, one of which converted for OMO work. I remember OMO Bristol Ls like this working 93/93A in Weston in early 60s when staying with my grandparents who retired there in 1960.
