Description
The latest addition to the motoring collection at our sister shop Stillington Vintage Emporium is this one of only 8 built B Type omnibus’s.
This was built to a perfect half size copy in 1965 by a well known mini car builder Alexander ‘SANDY’ Fraser.
This is gorgeous and has beautiful aged patina that will be getting a light restoration of sign writing and re commissioning.
It runs with a triumph 1200cc engine with 4 speed box and outside hand brake.
This example has been featured in many magazines in the past and is ideally suited for children of 2 to 12 years due it it’s size.
This particular bus has had hundreds of people sat in over the years as well as the royal family at Althorp House and including a sadly missed Princess Diana.
Was also seen on Blue Peter.
Out of the 8 ever built there is a rumor one is in Germany and one in the Covent Garden motoring museum…… Do you know the wareabouts of the other 5….
To see the omnibus please visit Stillington Vintage Emporium that’s open Tuesdays to Saturdays 9-4.
