Preserved PMT - 147 BEH147H - Daimler Fleetline SRG6LX - Alexander W
This rare and immaculate single-deck version of Daimler's more successful Fleetline double-decker was delivered to Potteries Motor Traction in a batch of twenty-one, 140-60, BEH141H etc. It was new in 05/1970. The arse end heavy 36ft. long Fleetline single-decks, no matter who they were bodied by, and who operated them, suffered from rear end structural problems. These were in essence a single-deck body on a chassis more suited to a double-deck bus and had the rear seats over the engine rather than in front of which was something similar to the GM Buses decker seen in the background. It is seen here on display at the now ceased Trans-Lancs Rally, Heaton Park, Manchester, on 04/09/2005. This popular event was last held in 2019. This was due to COVID-19 and the now ever expanding summer fairground.
The camera being a Pentax MZ-M with the film being a Jessops Colourslide.
