SC4LK
Funny-looking things weren't they? I can only remember seeing three. One I saw from a train, standing in a field somewhere between Severn Tunnel Junction and Newport; another, belonging to Lincolnshire Road Car Co., with a coach front and converted to some non-PSV use, stood in a corner of Lincoln Bus Station; and this one, an ex Lincolnshire example, in the fleet of C. P. Knubley of Bruton, Somerset, who traded as Brutonian. The Bristol SC4LK was a rather specialised vehicle, made for economy and employed in some of the most sparsely-populated parts of Britain. Lincolnshire Road Car, Eastern Counties and Crosville ...which used them mainly in North Wales, I think... were the main buyers. With their 3.8-litre Gardner 4-cylinder LK engines ...a design dating from 1935... they were not exactly overpowered. Interesting things to drive I should think.
I looked up the other bus. It is given as a Daimler SRC6 (Cummins-engined Roadliner?) with Strachan bodywork, new to Wolverhampton Corporation. The photograph was taken in Brutonian's yard at Bruton on Friday 19th October 1979.
