Nottingham UTV 229
229 (UTV 229)
AEC Regent V/Park Royal H33/28R
Preserved, ex Nottingham City Transport
Oxford Bus Museum, 30 March 2002
A bus in disguise, this was actually UTV 229, an ex Nottingham Regent V new in 1956. Despite being built 11 years after World War 2 ended, for unknown reasons it was anachronistically painted in full wartime blackout livery and carried spurious Oxford JWL 360 numberplates. The museum sold it shortly afterwards and it is now part of the Blackman family's collection in Yorkshire. Alongside is what remained of Midland Red REDD HA 8047 that was discovered in use as a shed in a Gloucestershire wood.
