AEC RT converted to front entrance? Or is it a Leyland? -- Last edit: 2017-03-28 08:47:05 |

Not much found by googling - ".... Connaught who deployed a trio of converted Green Line AECs." - http://8w.forix.com/transporter-nye.html (no pictures) - a picture thrown up, but no explanation why - https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/372461831663449414/ - and it doesn't look the same |

Pre-war AEC Regal ? http://www.countrybus.org/T-regal/T499bUp.jpg edit: "Tony Brooks the cars were packed into the back of a pair of converted 1939 AEC 10T10 Regal Greenline buses..." http://www.psychoontyres.co.uk/tag/connaught/ -- Last edit: 2017-03-28 20:08:14 |

I think that the Regal single decker could well be the answer to this. The sliding door front entrance fits, as does the shape and location of the fleet number plate on the bonnet side. Without really thinking I had looked at the design of the front wing where it feeds into the bulkhead and assumed RT family double decker. It appears that the 10T10s were starting to be sold off from about 1952, until 1957, which would fit with these winding up at Connaught as racing car transporters. -- Last edit: 2017-03-28 21:07:47 |
