Ooh, I missed this when I wrote up 'Our Day Out' - Merseyside PTE Leyland Panther with MCW body - a relatively rare bus. I know the livery is different but compare Link to "www.flickr.com" -- Last edit: 2018-12-02 13:28:29 |

Looks good, but "mine" has level side windows, not the stepped window line of that linked example. |

Good point - my second choice was a Bristol RELL, but I couldn't find a match. However.........how about a Bristol RELL with Park Royal body - another rarity - try this: Link to "www.flickr.com" |

Much better - also the filler position matches, closer to rear arch![[Image: 15-22buse.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/15-22buse.jpg) "July 1969 saw the entry into service of the last buses to be delivered and to work for Liverpool Corporation. ....a batch of 25 Bristol RELL6Gs with Park Royal dual door bodywork seating 45. These were the first Bristol buses to be delivered to the Corporation since the 5 Bristol K5Gs delivered in 1940 and also the first Gardner engined buses since the last of the wartime Guy Arabs, withdrawn in 1955. The 25 Bristol REs (2001- 2025) were powered by the 10.45 litre Gardner 6HLX engine and were fitted with semi-automatic gearboxes. The Park Royal bodywork was a similar design to the MCW-bodied Leyland Panthers delivered at the same time except the REs had a straight waist-rail compared to the stepped arrangement on the Panthers. They all carried the reversed Liverpool livery to signify being One Man Operation (OMO)." from here. |
