Almost certainly a Karrier, but as yet we haven't traced the registration |

Commer or Karrier BF based coach probably... I can find that Plaxton manufactured coaches on the BF chassis but no pictures as yet. |

My information is that the bodywork is by Reading |

Did any Karrier and Commer have the same front?... Up to me from profile view of the cabin it looks rather as a Commer = I think sort of Commer BFD Van or mini bus with specific body (Reading ? as suggest SteveA) |

As far as I know in the 1960s 'Karrier' shared the same body design with 'Commer' being made in the same manufacturing plant. |

edit: 'NXW 12' was issued in London. (There is no issuing county authority 'X' as the second letter in a registration). A very similar or identical bus appeared in "Clash by Night" (1962), registration number '883 CPP' (Luton, Bedfordshire issuing authority). -- Last edit: 2007-08-02 21:20:13 |

Commer and Karrier BFs were made on the same production line (called the 4 cylinder line, although the larger Walk Thrus made on this line had the Armstrong Siddely based Super Super Snipe Mk II 6 cyl motor) at Rootes works at Boscombe Road, Dunstable (across the road from Bedford Luton Works). Same model, different badge! |

Karrier 98A with Reading Lilliput body as the bus in "Clash by Night" (1962), registration number '883 CPP'. |

The bus used in “Clash by Night” was a 1957 model. It does look exactly like this one so should this one be listed as a 1957 model, too. |
