Northampton JVV 267G
267 (JVV 267G)
Daimler CVG6/Roe H33/26R
Preserved, ex Northampton Corporation
Northampton, 13 September 2009
For twenty years Northampton standardised on Roe-bodied CVG6s and by the late sixties the fleet included nothing else. New in October 1968, number 267 was not only the last one delivered to Northampton but also the very last half-cab Daimler for a UK operator. The Corporation's next purchases were of very different Daimlers, twenty single-deck Fleetlines for one man operation, of which none survive. In view of its significance 267 was retained for many years as a heritage vehicle but is now preserved privately; it had been away from the rally scene for some time but reappeared in its home town for the 2009 Heritage Weekend with fresh paint.
