The white and blue bus on the right, or the grey and yellow bus. -- Last edit: 2008-01-21 16:27:11 |

The centre (grey and yellow) bus seen from the front (three screen captures joined together).![[Image: coachhd4.6224.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/0is141/coachhd4.6224.jpg) |

Front one looks Duple bodied - middle one might be Plaxton-bodied from what we can see. Really struggling to give anything more. |

The white and blue coach on the right looks like a Yeates Europa body. Unless we could find out the operator it would be very difficult to decide upon the chassis, but these were generally fitted to lighter chassis like the Bedford SB or the Commer Avenger Two Stroke diesel, although also some AECs. http://easternnational1966.mysite.orange.co.uk/page6.html -- Last edit: 2008-01-20 20:55:40 |

Thanks John, I was thinking Yeates bodywork myself, but without much to go on - in which case it's worth the screencap on rarity value. |

Yates Europa appears to be correct. Thanks john from Staffs. .gif ":)") http://rides.webshots.com/photo/1078074699036313870hqDAEE The location is Osterley Park House, Isleworth Middlesex, so possibly a coach operator from that area. Bedford SB is likely to be the greatest number built I guess? |

Sunbar, SB was the most popular lightweight bus/coach chassis following on from the success of the OB, so you're probably right. If you go to your suggested link, and then step back to the previous picture, you'll see an SB Duple, which in my opinion is so simplistic and elegant that it makes the Yeates look like an art college doodle. Also, I think it might be the front coach in the picture above. |
