ASF registration would indicate 1936 perhaps correct, and the usual suspects would be Bedford, Commer or very perhaps Leyland Cub. Too late for a Gilford who had gone by then, and I can't be certain on the coachwork either.

ASF350 Bedford WTB Duple C20F June 1937 Scottish Motor Traction (C82) so it was a front entrance 20 seat bus or coach (although slightly unusual I would think to have an opening roof?). The rear of a 1936 Duple body looks the same to me. An idea of what the side looked like as a resized (stretched) image. -- Last edit: 2021-11-04 11:19:43
