Adjacent to the First display at SHOWBUS international 2007 were the regular SHOWBUS troup of Eastern Counties preserved vehicles which also got to bask in the sunshine that year.

This was the bus new as Ribble 1998. Alongside repainted in NBC poppy red and white is the rare Bristol RESL - as opposed to the longer RELL model - with the rarer still original style of ECW body for the RE model: RS658 (KVF658E). |
