Plaxtons on AEC,Bedford,Daimler,Ford,Leyland,Volvo or any other chassis?
I would prefer to name it with a chassis make, but in an other way Plaxtons can be considered as a make with actual productions

..the next is Mercedes-Benz 0302, then a Ford or Bedford VAL or VAM Duple 3 axles...last one is too far, and it's too late.. :o

Like some VanHool busses, Winnebago campers, etc. They are listed with the name of the body maker rather than the chassis.

The name is Plaxton without 's' -- even though they usually turn up in larger numbers ;)
The model is a Panorama.

I could not find that Plaxton used the code 'R-Series', but a number of chassis makers do (Dennis, Ford, Scania -- all on modern chassis). Sixcyl, could you check your information and let us know? For the moment I will place 'R-Series' into the chassis field -- feel free to change it back if I am wrong.

Nearest the camera is a Ford R-series of Excelsior Motorways with Plaxton Panorama Elite body. Excelsior had a lot of these at one time.
Next, a Mercedes 0302 integral.
Next, a Bedford VAL70 (you can just see the wheelarch for the second axle at the front) with Duple Viceroy body.
The fourth might another VAL70/Duple Viceroy.

Plaxton of Scarborough have always been coachbuilders, not chassis builders, although a small number of double deck coaches were built and badged as Plaxton.

it seems SteveA answered for me ;) ...
Just a question I'm wondering, why FORD letters are missing on the upper part of the grill?... specially no bagdged for Excelsior Motor ways?

I believe it's a Ford R226 or R192 - there are a number of reasons why you don't see badges on the front grille - sometimes the operators ask for them to be left off, sometimes they fall off, sometimes they get stolen. In rare cases you just have to know: a lot of early Leyland Atlanteans built for Glasgow in Scotland had Albion badges on the front - Albion being a Scottish manufacturer taken over by Leyland......
