Looks like the license plate in the main pic begins with "IY...", so perhaps it's this IY 7383-registered GNR Gardner bus? Link to "www.tapatalk.com" -- Last edit: 2019-11-19 22:52:11 |

There is a 1949/50 Lowlight Minor in the picture. |

Good find. Do we enter it as GNR or Great Northern Railway ? Gardner only made engines, not chassis. |

That's not the bus in the photo that screw13article posted. The text that you quoted relates to a different photo that another user posted believing it to be a self-built GNR bus. This is the bus in the photo: https://www.flickr.com/photos/93173492@N00/2511584390/ -- Last edit: 2019-11-20 01:42:32 |

The convention for the weird world of buses has been Chassis builder; Coachwork builder; Further information. For example: Guy Arab IV; Metropolitan Cammell Carriage and Wagon Co.; Gardner 6LW then bus or coach; seating plan etc. http://www.old-bus-photos.co.uk/?tag=guy-arab-iv Where there is less dichotomy, for instance Bedford OB/Duple; coach 29 seats, life gets easier. In this case it seems GNR (NI) built the chassis and coachwork, Gardner the engine, so GNR/Gardner seems good to me, besides being the way these are referred to (generally) by the bus cognoscenti, from whom I quote. -- Last edit: 2019-11-20 09:31:39 |
