http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowers_Coaches . BTW the registration is from Northern Ireland - Londonderry, but this was common with bus and coach operators at one time. NI registrations don't use year letters. |

Reeve Burgess Beaver bodywork on what I guess would be a 709D chassis. Difficult to date, as the registration HUI 4891 was worn by several vehicles run by Bowers Coaches. Northern Irish format xUI xxxx registrations were indeed common at the time, giving the bus or coach a dateless identity. -- Last edit: 2013-07-29 19:37:50 |

Btw, it's more like Minibus rather than Van. |

Yes, Opal is right, this should be changed into the bus category. |
