1968 Ford Escort 2-door.
Was blue. Previously fitted with a 1600cc engine. Classics Central auction, Bedford Autodrome -
"Manufactured in March 1968, and first registered in early April of that year, this beautiful two door MkI De Luxe enjoyed a cosseted life before being used as the basis for an extensive restoration, along with a series of very desirable upgrades.
The interior is finished in red cloth, tastefully complimenting the roof colour. Among the assortment of period correct features, such as the steering wheel, perhaps the only immediate hints to this car’s performance bias are the aftermarket pedal set, slotted front valance and taped headlamps.
Pop the bonnet and you will find a 2 litre Pinto powerplant with twin Webers, with a heat-wrapped steel 4-branch manifold. The vendor informs us that other upgrades include:
– 5 speed manual gearbox
– 45/45 limited slip differential
– clear back lights
– anti-dive kit
– polybushed suspension
– anti tram bars
– Gaz rear shocks
– front coil overs
– single piece propshaft
– single leaf springs
– concentric top mounts
– adjustable track control arms
– world cup cross member
– stainless steel exhaust
– aluminium radiator
– silicone hose kit
Shod with Lotus twin-cam steel wheels bearing Yokohama A539 tyres, this exceptionally clean De Luxe benefits from a excellent paintwork, showing creative vision with the “tri-tone” finish of red roof, white body and black bumpers and wheels. Currently carrying an MoT to 27 January 2017, this hard-hitting MkI is fast, tough and street-credible."
Estimate £14,000 to £18,000. Sold for £12,000.
Some people like a motorbike
Some say "A train for me!"
Or for bonnie army lorry
They'd lay them down and dee
Such means of locomotion
Seem rather dull to us
The driver
And conductor
Of
A London omnibus
Hold very tight please, ting ting!
Hold very tight please, ting ting!
When you are lost in Winchester
And you don't know where you are
You'll hear my voice a-calling
"Pass further down the car!"
And very soon you'll find yourself
Inside the terminus
In a London Transport, diesel-engined
One hundred and twenty horsepower omnibus
With apologies to Flanders and Swan!

Picture:- Regal IV UMP 227 picking up passengers outside St. Johns House, Broadway in Winchester during the Friends of King Alfreds Buses running day on Monday, 06/05/2024.
The Regal IV buses were built by AEC (Associater Equipmant Company) at their plant in Southall, West London, from 1949 till 1960 for London Transport and powered by a 9.6 litre AEC A219 6 cylinder in-line 120 hp diesel engine whch provide 430 foot pounds of torque, the engine was mounted midway along the chassis in a 'lay-down' position under the floor and originally coupled to an air operated pre-select gearbox, which was later replaced with a mono control transmission fitted with overdrive on third and fourth gears
The PRV B40F coachwork was built by Park Royal Vehicles in Abbey Road, West London, measuring some 2.2 meters wide and just over nine meters in length, it was originally fitted with 40 seats, which was later reduced to 36.
UMP 227 was the prototype vehicle and was loaned to London Transport in 1950 where it operated on the 335 route from St. Albans Garage, later being transferred to the Reigate Garage, The bus was also used as a demonstrator for other bus lines before being returned to AEC in 1951 for development work resulting in a further 700 running chassis being ordered by London Transport, these were fitted with Metropolitan Cammell coachwork.
The bus was then used as a staff vehicle by AEC, changing colour several times and from 1954 it was used by AEC as a service vehicle in yellow and blue livery till it was sold for preservation in 1971 restoration was started, however the bus was damaged whilst on storage and although a full restoration was started it was not competed
In 2008 the vehicle was bought by a group of members of the London Bus Preservation Trust members who donated it to the London Bus Museum at Cobham. In 2011 the Museum moved to a purpose built site close to the Brooklands Museum near Weybridge where the restoration was completed by October2013.
