Apologies in advance for the quality of the pictures that were taken with my Kodak Brownie
127 camera at the Commercial Motor Show in Earls Court, London, in 1968.
Ribble Leyland Leopard 946 HRN 946G was one of many coaches with the then new
Plaxton Panorama Elite bodywork. Standerwick 50S, Reg. No. F CK 450G was the first of many
Bristol VRL double deck coaches with Eastern Coachworks bodywork for the services
from and to the North West of England to London. They were a rather unreliable machine,
and they were withdrawn and sold after about 5 years. The last picture is a coach
for Eastern Scottish, a Bristol RE with bodywork by Alexander of Falkirk.
