transporter 175 FLY
AEC Reliances were always popular as transporter conversions, more so when 12-metre models became available, giving a bit more space inside for the car and/or accommodation. Alexander Y-type bodies were a rarity though, and this one was rare anyway, being new to an independent operator.
175 FLY was new to Premier Travel, Cambridge as OVE 232J, and was sold for conversion when only 10 years old, to Glyndwr Pursey of Bromham, Beds. His car number was 175, so the registration was possibly the first example of a cherished plate being used on a transporter in this way.
