HISTORY | This vehicle was the first Guy Arab to be delivered to the Provincial Bus Company of Fareham, in 1942. The Weymann body was constructed to wartime specification, but was rebuilt in 1955 by local coach builders, Reading & Co of Portsmouth. It was withdrawn in 1970 and it was sold to the Maypine Trolleybus Company in November of that year. It was bought back by Provincial for preservation in 1983. It is now owned by First Hants & Dorset, in association with the Provincial Society. |
