Sunbar ◊ 2006-04-11 14:48	junkman wrote Reliant Regent. Yes, I found that Reliant did the Regent but the front door window was different, in the picture I found...also Raleigh did a similar van the Karryall from about 1930. Information from http://www.3wheelers.com there appears to be almost all three-wheelers listed there - but there is so much, its difficult to search all the photographs.

If you look at the post-war Regent you will find that the door window matches perfectly.
Sunbar ◊ 2006-04-11 17:00	Thanks Junkman...found it - they introduced sliding windows at the same time.

SteveA, I don't think its possible to read either the bus ident or the reg number but I will post it anyway, (plus the Morris Minor that is in the scene as well).
SteveA ◊ 2006-04-12 01:54	Hi Sunbar, I reckon the top line of the registration is MLL. Of the batch of numbers MLL501 to MLL999, 20 were RTLs and the rest were either RTs or RFs (singledeck)- so the balance of probability (since the destination display is also indistinct) is that it's an RT!
