Classics for sale
A visit to W. North's bus dealership at Sherburn in Elmet was always worth the detour, and some very fine classics were to be found in this April 1969 view. Redundant Bristol KSWs are to the fore, with ex-Bristol Omnibus OHY975 showing the contrast between the high-bridge body style (complete with battered dome) and the low-bridge equivalent on ex-United Automobile PHN826. The latter was numbered BBL64 in the United fleet. A former West Yorkshire Road Car lowbridge KSW is at the right - the type had just been eliminated from the WYRCC fleet, and a start would shortly be made on the Lodekka component. Poking into view at the left is former Hebble AEC Regent V/Weymann lowbridge GCP5. I don't think any of these vehicles found buyers, but a sister to BBL64 - PHN829 - is believed to have been preserved.
