B.E.Williams Bedford TL.Good grief. TL1060(?) with (probably) the non-turbo 330.
Would’ve been quicker to tow it with a Fergie 35.

Ray,I would go for a Van Hool Vistadome body on the VAL,and could the decker possibly be a Daimler Fleetline Park Royal ?
Sorry for diverting the thread again.Blimey, talk about going off half-cocked - I went and googled and you’re right, VanHool Vistadome. So much for my “yes, it’s a Caetano” post. In my defence M’Lud, I first thought “Van Hool”.
Sorry Dean, more bus talk. I’ll shut up now.
PS That pic of a WM PTE MCW you posted a few pages back would have had a Gardner 6LXB up the back. Yes, I am clutching at straws…
I can see these bus/coach pics etc are gonna get intresting !!!

Ray Smyth:
Stringfellow Bros of Wigan operated touring coaches as well as removal vans…cant spell pantechnicon .
This Leyland PS1 JP 6968 started life as a touring coach with Smiths Tours of Wigan in 1948, and was fitted with
van bodywork in the 1950s, Smiths Tours is still trading today as Shearings Holidays.The lower picture is Stringfellow Bros DJP 20, a 1958 Bedford fitted with bodywork by Yeates of Loughborough.
Coach driver Tom Higham is seen here with the Bedford in Southsea, Hampshire. Regards Ray Smyth.
