Strachan-bodied AEC Regal III was found in derelict condition on a farm
near Llandudno. It has been fully restored by Quantock Motor
Services in Somerset. Newly restored in April 2006, it is powered by
the 7.7 litre engine coupled to a crash box. Formerly with
Crossville Motor Services, operating in Cheshire and North Wales, the
vehicle was part of the heritage fleet of Quantock Motor Services, and licensed for private hire and tours.
However, it may have recently been sold on. http://www.quantockmotorservices.co.uk/ |
