Why? |

What do you mean "why"?  /vehicle_675125-AEC-Reliance-1979.htmlDifferent bodywork, different grille. |

Because this bodywork was used on the chassis of several makers, you obviously know little of how coaches are built. Firstly, the operator may choose a chassis maker according to his likes or preferences, size needed, type of use envisaged, and then he may go to a coachbuilder to order bodywork suitable for his and the chassis' parameters. Choices of chassis can be found here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaxton_Supreme Please, also, try to identify the coachbuilder as well as the chassis for completeness of record. -- Last edit: 2016-01-25 18:17:23 |

GIL 2150 is a Black 1990 Austin first registered in Fermanagh on 2 April 1990. (maybe FX4??). GIL 2160 was a Ford Escort Diesel ...... |

Why not a Leyland Leopard? /vehicle_873178-Leyland-Leopard.html |

Now you know, Gamer, why I asked "Why?". Because we still don't know which chassis is under that Plaxton Supreme. -- Last edit: 2016-01-25 19:14:16 |

I'd be impressed if it was a Ward Dalesman: Link to "www.aronline.co.uk" (interesting story, even to someone not interested in buses). |

It would be a find. How about a time travelling Ward Dalesman with Roe Dalesman coachwork? That would be fun! https://www.flickr.com/photos/emdjt42/16749032834 -- Last edit: 2016-01-25 19:58:59 |

Oh, come on - didn't anyone notice the badge above the grille?! It's a Plaxton Supreme IV-bodied Leyland Leopard PSU5C/4R delivered new to Mayne, Manchester, as MRJ 360W in April 1981. |

Showed up as just a grey smudge on my iPad! At least it's stopped the uninformed guesswork. Later, it didn't allow interpretation on my laptop either, perhaps I need a desktop with a 50 inch monitor and some new glasses. -- Last edit: 2016-01-26 11:31:45 |

The script is barely legible on both my iPad and laptop, so there's no need. .gif ";)") If the coach was displaying the blue triangle of an AEC, it would have made things much simpler! |

It has a Leopard badge above the grille. It's also still carrying the Mayne livery. Mayne didn't have any AEC with this Plaxton body. |
