Film star

London General S454 in Brighton in May 1972, a Thames Television crew filming for the children's TV show, Magpie. The bus was fifty years old here, similar to a Leyland National or Bristol VR being seen on the road today.

 

The 1969 Triumph Vitesse is no longer on the DVLA database, while the 1966 Austin 1800 was last taxed in April 1983.

 

Scanned from a negative taken by Alec Swain, now in my collection.
