Alexander ◊ 2005-11-04 19:36	Looks like a Bedford VAM with coachwork by Duple made in the late 1960s. http://www.bedfordgathering.com/wakefield/vam-photoview.htm

Alexander ◊ 2005-11-05 01:01	The word 'coach' only means that it is an travelling bus. In French this is 'autocar'. I don't think we need to mention this in the name.
sixcyl ◊ 2005-11-05 18:40	I Know that coach means autocar in french, but wasn't the complete designation DUPLE COACH?
Alexander ◊ 2005-11-05 19:50	I don't think that 'Duple Coach' was an official name. It was rather used as a description, i.e. 'A coach bodied by Duple based on a Bedford chassis'. Therefore you could, of course, add 'coach', if you prefer. Perhaps someone finds some contemporary documents showing what it the correct way to write it.
sixcyl ◊ 2005-11-05 20:19	No problem, if you think the "coach" terminology is not official..then it's ok
