Bus was sitting for many years then sadly entered in the Purchase District fair bus derby and was destroyed. The bus will no go back to were it was originally and remain a storage bus.
Green Local School District #10 - 1999 Crown By Carpenter International @ Bus Yard, Greensburg, OH. This is one beautiful bus! and note the extra reflective tape.
This is the oldest active bus in my current fleet of model buses. It's in terrific condition as well. It was built just a few years after I started using an exterior film called monokote that gives it a glossy finish. Before that the exteriors were just posterboard.
Just another vintage school bus with a gas engine on display at the Museum of Bus Transportation Spring Fling.

I believe that this was the last model Crown school bus to be built before the company went under in the very early 1990s. It looks similar in the middle to their iconic capsule-shaped bus, but a bit modernized with squared-off front and rear end clips and rectangular headlamps.
Sometimes, a person photobombs when taking a photo, so I decided to remove it with an eraser due to some stricter rules regarding submissions on certain sites.

Father O'Leary of St. Michael's Church in Oldham was looking for a bus to transport children to and from Catholic Schools in the Oldham area, and of all that was looked at, a certain Northern Counties bodied Leyland Atlantean registered PNF941J was deemed the best of the bunch.
The bus in question was none other than the first prototype 'Standard' for the new Selnec PTE, EX1, and there is no doubt that Father O'Leary's new purchase safeguarded the vehicle to ensure it would eventually end up in preservation. Of course, he wouldn't have known this at the time, to him it was just the best of what was available.
Even before The SELNEC Preservation Society was formed on 11th January 1987, individuals who were to come together to form the society had expressed an interest in EX1, and made a number of visits to Father O'Leary in Oldham. Eventually, after the Society was formed and 7206 and 7185 had been acquired, more serious attention then turned to EX1, the Society's potential third preservation prospect. Clearly, the Father required a bus to transport the children to and from school daily, but the actual identity of that vehicle was not important, and in fact he did not realise the relevance of the vehicle he was using, until it was explained to him. Conversations with the Father indicated that should a vehicle in equal or better condition be provided to St. Michael's Church for their use, they would accept it in exchange for EX1, as all they required was a serviceable vehicle for their transportation functions.
Eventually, the Selnec group agreed with the PTE to purchase 7110 XJA501L, the first Park Royal production Standard delivered to the Southern Division. It was purchased and swapped with Father O'Leary in a ceremony outside Birchfields Depot, recorded by the Manchester Evening News on 6th April 1988.
The bus continued in the same role as EX1 before it, but was never repainted out of GMT livery, even retaining in house advertising for pre paid tickets!
It is seen here parked outside Father O'Leary's residence in the summer of 1994 looking pretty much the same as it did a decade earlier when running for the PTE.
