Morris Commercial provided a rare batch of double-decker buses to East Kent just before the war.
Those Morris Commercials were quite inovative in that the whole front end (radiator, axle and engine) could be wheeled out as a complete unit. I believe that the engine was overhead camshaft as well.

Interesting to discover that Morris had manufactured buses, what I of course ignored until less than a minute ago!
The double-deckers were called Morris Commercial Imperials. With regard to the batch delivered to the East Kent Road Car Co, here’s the info:
Here’s another shot I’ve found in cyberspace, of one of those East Kent Imperials.
And here’s a shot of one of the Birmingham Imperials. I read that they weren’t very successful and were withdrawn prematurely (and the bodies used for other war damaged buses). Different style of radiator, I notice:
And here an artist’s impression of one of Edinborough’s Imperials:
I’m sure I remember reading somewhere (perhaps in my teens in the 60s when I was most interested in East Kent) that these Morris Commercial 'deckers had petrol engines, which is highly likely in the early '30s. Does anyone know what powered them? And was it an engine used in lorries of the period?
Yes they had either high mounted camshafts or OHC petrol engines, the same as fitted to the Leader range of trucks.
