A Bristol SC4LK of Crosville Motor Services. Finch Coaches of Wigan had an ex Crosville Bristol SC4LK
in the 1970s, mainly for services to and from factories in Bolton and Farnworth. I did an occasional
trip in the Bristol, usually taking groups of anglers to canals, lakes, and rivers for their hobby.
The engine was a 4 cylinder Gardner, coupled to a 5 speed gearbox. Top speed was about 45 MPH.

The Liverpool Corporation Leyland PD2 on the left could be what the audience on the right
are looking at. The Ford bread van is from Scotts bakery, a major supplier of bread in Merseyside.
The âFull Swingâ Karrier belongs to Edmundsons, a lemonade and soft drinks manufacturer.
I have now worked out exactly where this location is. It is Walton Lane, looking toward Liverpool
city centre, behind the camera is Everton F.C. football ground. The date is approx. 1959/1960.
Where the Leyland bus is parked is what used to be the tram tracks, to and from the city centre.
This end of Salop Street on the right is no longer there, but Tetlow Street next to it still exists.
Walton Lane is now a dual carriageway. The cables above with the street lamps would have
carried the overhead wires for the trams until 1957, the last year of tram operation.

My opinion is the exposed rad made a better looking bus, but then I only ever had experience of this type of rad on a Leyland decker. I think the covered front looks clumsy and toytownish. Tin hat on for incoming!!!Regards Kev.Me to Kev like the old wagons the distinct manufacturerâs rad had character, did many a shift on 956
OilyAn interesting picture because at first sight those are two Regent IIIs, but 956 is actually one of comparatively few Regent Vs built with a traditional exposed radiator. The immediate giveaway being the binnacle on 956, to the lack of one on Regent III 166 and also the angle of the applied handbrake. They would also sound completely different. Strangely however each seems to be sporting the otherâs type of front wheels.
Hi cav551 956 was a cracking machine, Regent V with exposed rad, pre-selector, lovely bark off the exhaust, when re-verberating off a wall, music to the ears, happy days
. 166, lesser powered, stick change. 956 was the last bus I drove, that was August 1962, so memory not that good on the finer details of what powered what.

This particular AEC Regal has a long and rich history,which started in the famous seaside holiday resort,and Mecca Of Motorcoaches!

Blackpool .This is very similar to the AEC Regal in that AEC Regal Motorcoach advertisement that I documented in my previous post in
this thread It was operated by the Grand Edwardian Touring Company,owned by Clive Screeton,from 1992 to around 2000,then
Wild Rose operated the Regal and was auctioned off at a Bonhams sale at the National Motor Museum to itâs present owner in 2016 :-

NOTE:I made a mistake in my original post:I said that the AEC Regal,FV 4548,was bodied by Leyland since Leyland had supplied Ribble with
a number of Leyland Tiger TS6 motorcoaches in 1933 with identical motorcoach bodies to the one on the AEC,and,in common with other enthusiasts,I assumed that the AECâs body had originated from one of these magnificent Ribble Leyland Tiger motorcoaches. Wrong! 
Itâs 1934 English Electric C31F body came from Leyland Tiger TS6,HG 2759 in 1948 when the AEC was in use as an engineering instruction bus with Ribble,No.DS1.

WIKIPEDIA QUOTE Q-Ships, also known as Q-boats, decoy vessels, special service ships, or mystery ships, were heavily armed merchant ships with concealed weaponry, designed to lure submarines into making surface attacks. This gave Q-ships the chance to open fire and sink them.
So,because the Q-Ships were on the secrets list and doing secret work,and because the AEC was developed in secrecy,revolutionary in nature,
experimental - initially at least - and hush-hush,AEC appropriately chose the letter Q

Thank you for that. Ah, those were the days, eh? The old heavy uniform - I remember it well, because I had an uncle who drove for Ribble at Preston Depot for over years - heâd joined them when they acquired his employer, Pilot Motors of Preston, in 1926, and finally retired at 67.

Blackpool is the Mecca Of Motorcoaches! Countless motorcoaches ranging from attractive,to exotic,to beautiful,to flamboyant,to unusual (or a combination of two or more of these qualities) have gone in and out of Blackpool over many decades transporting holidaymakers and daytrippers to and from this famous flamboyant seaside holiday resort
The motorcoach is very strongly associated with holidays,tours and day trips,so how very appropriate that thousands of motorcoach bodies were made in Blackpool! By Burlingham ,1923-1962,taken over by London-based Duple in 1960,and by Duple,1919-1989,who fully moved to Blackpool in 1970.Both companies also made bus bodies,some of which were for Blackpool Transport.
A far lesser known Blackpool motor bodybuilder was Landsdowne K.W.Bodies,1937-1960,of Bispham who built motorcoach bodies.
1930s The Streamlined Decade
In the 1930s Art DĂ©cor and Streamlining were all the rage - hence buildings,radio sets,trains,aeroplanes,railway locomotives,motor vehicles,etc,became streamlined.Not only from an artistic point of view,but,in the case of mobile transport vehicles,for aerodynamic efficiency - to move smoother through the air,cut down on air drag,save on fuel consumption and travel faster.
So the great flamboyance of Blackpool and the wonderful spirit of streamlining came together in a new fleet of modern and streamlined buses and trams,instigated by the new General Manager of Blackpool Transport,Walter Luff,in office as General Manager from 1933-1954,who was
far-sighted and and broad-minded.
With one exception,all of the main fleet of new streamlined single and double decker buses had bodies built byâŠyes,youâve guessed it,H.V.Burlingham The exception being Leyland Titan TD4/English-Electric FH24/24C Streamlined Double Decker Bus,FV 6615,Blackpool,No.120,built
in 1936.
NOTE:There were other buses in the Blackpool fleet at the same time as the new streamliners,but Iâm just covering the new streamlined buses
and trams that were built from new.
The Streamlined V-Fronts
As much as the traditional exposed radiators of motor vehicles are variously attractive,beautiful,interesting,fascinating,etc,such as the exposed radiators of Leyland,Rolls-Royce,AEC,Daimler,Mercedes-Benz,Scammell,Bugatti,Hispano-Suiza,Duesenberg,Bentley,et al,the exposed radiators of Blackpoolâs streamlined Leyland Titans and Tigers looked a bit incongruous amidst all the streamlining!
Thus Blackpool Transport got rid of exposed radiators with the latest batch of new streamlined single and double decker buses in 1940,and blessed them with very attractive streamlined V-Front Radiator Grilles At long last complete streamlining was fulfilled ! - and the beautiful Leyland Tiger V-Front Streamlined Single Decker Buses looked more like motorcoaches than buses! very fitting for the motorcoach,flamboyant
and holiday town of Blackpool!
The beautiful streamlined styling of the buses was based on the streamlined trams.
These streamlined buses had all gone out of passenger-carrying service by the end of the 1960s - the last were withdrawn in 1969,though a few remained as service vehicles - some of them thankfully passed on to preservation later on
English-Electric Balloon Streamlined Double Decker,Brush RailCoach Streamlined Single Decker Trams and Streamlined Single Decker Open Boat Car Trams.
But the above trams carried on in to the 21st Century Theyâve been renovated several times,and some Balloon trams have been given flat fronts Oh dear. However,most of the 1934-37 streamlined trams are part of the Blackpool Heritage Tram Fleet are operational and are now mainly used occasionally on heritage services.While others are being repaired and/or renovated,or stored,or preserved in transport-tramway museums-or on heritage tramways,etcâŠwhile a handful have been scrapped.
Todays Modern Blackpool Bus And Tram Fleet.
Although attractive,interesting and technically sophisticated,Blackpoolâs Bombardier Flexity 2,5-Section,Multi-Articulated,Single Decker Trams,Fleet Nos.OO1-O18,lack the charisma of Blackpoolâs traditional and definitive streamlined trams of 1934-1937 and other later trams.
The same can be applied to Blackpoolâs buses over the last nearly fifty years: The last V-Front streamliners went out of service in 1969.These were the definitive Blackpool buses,and the double deckers were replaced by a mixture of Midland Red Front full-fronted Leyland Titan PDs,
St.Helens Front full-fronted Leyland Titan PDs,St.Helens Front half cab Leyland Titan PDs and,later on,square and boxy-looking Leyland Atlanteans! - a far cry from the traditional Blackpool streamliners!!
The single deckers were not replaced - Blackpool became an all double decker bus fleet! Until that is new AEC Swift/Marshall Single Decker Buses started entering the fleet in 1969.Again,it was the same old story:although the AEC Swifts were interesting and attractive,they lacked the charisma of the streamlined V-Front single decker buses!
When the streamlined buses went,some of the character of the town of Blackpool went too! - No wonder Blackpool Transport hung on to their streamlined trams!
The nearest Blackpool came to having streamlined buses again was when they started operating a number of Optare Delta Single Decker Buses!
And the nearest Blackpool came to having buses with the head-turning charisma that the streamlined buses had was operating a number of ex-London Transport AEC Routemasters! These were painted in Blackpoolâs beautiful red and white livery
Todays Blackpool buses are by Alexander Dennis,Tansbus,DAF,Dennis,Mercedes-Benz,and Volvo,being both single deckers and double deckers,are painted in a dual livery scheme:some are in black and yellow,while others are Palladium Grey and yellow and a handful are in other liveries.
Whilst the Bombardier Flexity2 Trams have an attractive purple and white livery.

Blackpool is famous for its wonderful electric Illuminations - which have included Eddie Stobart lorry lights in recent years! - and have
always included specially-built Illuminations Trams,theirs bodies and decorative lights are designed and arranged to look like various forms of
transport:Tram No.731 is the Blackpool Belle,an American paddle boat,Tram No.732 is the Rocket,QV photograph below,Tram No.733 is the

Just below this illustration it says: Bodywork By H.V.Burlingham,Blackpool.
The bottom part of the seat metal frames for Burlingham-bodied motorcoaches,buses and trams were patterned on the above Burlingham trademark
Blackpool has been one of the great Meccas Of Motorcoaches - Motor Coaches - since the 1920s at least to date,and,as outlined in the text above,
from 1923 to 1989 motorcoach bodies were built in Blackpool! âŠjust how many Blackpool-built Burlingham,Duple and Landsdowne KW-
bodied motorcoaches paid return visits to Blackpool as part of their work of transporting holidaymakers,day trippers,etc,to and from Blackpool? It must be in the many thousands.
Two magnificent motorcoaches that have been to Blackpool many a time are these:-

A fitter at Fred Chappels in the late 50 bought at auction an Ex Royal Daimler saloon, big bugga it was, engine had seen better days so he bunged a Gardner in it (4LW I think)
It did work for a while. I never did find out how heâd mated the gearbox to the engine.

Iâdonât know if Iâm in the right " quote" bit but looking at the Rover reminded me of a very good friend of mine John Derbyshire from Ashbourne who worked for Trent and what he didnât know about Gardner and S.O.S. engines was superb.He put a Gardner into his Armstong Siddely.I think there was a Bentley going about with a Gardner Engine somewhere
âGingerfoldâ will undoubtedly have more detail, but I think it was Hugh Gardner who had a Gardner-engined Bentley, and I have a feeling that there was a Gardner-engined Lagonda at the factory too. Iâve seen LK engines in a Mk IX Jaguar and also a Series 1 Land Rover and an early Range Rover, not to mention an LC Morris Commercial
[/quote]
Correct, there was the 4LW powered Bentley that won its class in the Monte Carlo Rally (when it was a prestigious event.) Lagonda, Alvis, Jags all have had Gardner transplants, sales director Dion Houghton had a Jag XK150 with a Gardner engine, and thereâs Paul Gardnerâs Invicta with one of the three 6LKs that were made. No doubt there will be other makes of car with Gardner engines, the 4LK was a popular transplant because of its outstanding fuel economy.
