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.
