British-built AEC Regent bus speeding up Pahlavi Avenue, Tehran in the summer of 1970
The city bought loads of left-hand drive AEC Regent V buses with Park Royal bodies. A batch of smaller ones arrived in 1958, with a bigger batch of longer ones being acquired in 1966/67. This is one of the shorter ones.
I returned to the city again in 1974 by which time the bus livery had changed from red to green.

Six long years passed since that day. Ahmedinejhad ruled the country and declared himself as the winner of the re-election on 2009. and the country got another shock! and we all know what happened ever since.
Last time i couldn't judge him cause i didn't know who he is ... and now i cannot judge him because i am not allowed to. They call it FORBIDDEN!
