| Another favourite of mine was Northampton, with its period fleet of Daimler CVG6's, taking the last in 1969 for the home market, with classic Roe 27ft. 6in. bodies, vacuum brakes and pre-select gears to the very last - a real time capsule! We start back in 1982 - enjoy! |
Yours truly posed with 266 - shame on me for wearing my AEC teeshirt alongside a Daimler classic! |
JVV 266G is seen at the terminus of route 14 at Parklands |
Northampton 266 is the penultimate Daimler CVG6, with Roe composite body, vacuum brakes and Daimler's pre-select gears, at a typical turning circle of many a municipal route, in the days before things became so hurried that we never "wait for time"! |
