i think the 2 air slots grille was used with II and III with number of slots giving a hint on chassis -It was the Bristol bus even longing for more air resulting in 4 slots to ban the destination sign into the roof called the Bristol dome. -while Ford or Seddon had 3/2 slots with MK II as well as with MK III bodies Here are the features making this a MK III : -squared-off destination sign chrome surrounded, while a MK II allways had rubber and more rounded corners -the dual framed strip in bicolor only meeting at the front end, while some III had still the older style chrome a MK II never comes with>>> -clap hand pantograph whipers introduced with MK III -once again wether there are slots or not the number and position has nothing to do with generation, but air flow of engine and therefore with chassis indeed! a Bristol for example will allways need maximum of air slots possible. -the key to identify will be to know the operator first so the National Bus Company generally opted for only a single strip on otherwise dual strip MK III but a MK II never had hand clap whipers! ![[Image: mkii.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/14694/mkii.jpg) even without grille we can identify MK II by round rubber sign + single strip + conventionnel whiperswanted to avoid by first comment, entering now mined terrain! ours is a late Elite but not a Ford as a Ford would have 3 slots resulting in higher position of sign not a Bristol 4 slots Link to "encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com" https://www.flickr.com/photos/tcd481j/15538169312 it can be a Seddon ; a Bedford or maybe a Leyland Elite III with 2 slots without badge as there is no evidence for other makes used the 2 slots grille but even this can't be excluded https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7229/7008729085_8072b5c11d_b.jpg once again the hand clap whipers are most significant Link to "busesandbits.smugmug.com" -- Last edit: 2018-06-19 12:16:08 |
