Classic Bus Magazine

Early ECW bodied Bristol LH buses had vision-restricting shallow windscreens; some later modified and later models had much better screens. Robert Appleton and Mike Hodges both take a look. We also feature more on MCW’s Metropolitan coaches, more buses leaning over, more on badges, and more on Birch taxis (or, rather, one that never was)…
 
Mike Fenton introduces classic coach builder, Gurney Nutting, David Toy assesses the Leyland Panther Cub, and Ray Bignell puzzles about precarious steps up to a roof luggage rack.

Allan Macfarlane remembers a trip to the Welsh mountains by steamer (and bus, of course), Michael Dryhurst remembers Margo of South London and Bexhill remembers The Italian Job, but did it have a plan? As usual, we have lots to quicken the pulse in this latest Classic Bus…

Plus there’s our popular, lively and well-illustrated Forum section with topics ranging far and wide, and a look at some new books.
