Silver Star Atlantean 1013MW
1013MW is a restored Silver Star Atlantean. The vehicles were of particular interest being of lowbridge design and one was coach seated in Ribble 'Gay Hostess' style for weekend express services tuned to the needs of the armed forces stationed around Salisbury. When Wilts & Dorset acquired Silver Star, three of the four Atlanteans were transferred to Bristol Omnibus and painted in Tilling green and cream.
 
Wilts & Dorset LH AFB585V
Another W&D connection: originally 454 in the Bristol Omnibus fleet, this Bristol LH is preserved as Wilts & Dorset 3849. On transfer to W&D it had its front end modified so that it could be driven on to the Sandbanks ferry without grounding. The bus is seen at the 2001 Cobham Rally.

Gloucester City Bristol L5G CFH604
Once upon a time this was Bristol G1254 in the Gloucester City fleet.
 
Gloucester City Bristol L5G CFH604
G1254 (CFH604) was a Bristol L4G with Brislington bodywork (BBW). It was heavily rebuilt several times in its life, believed new as B32D, then rebodied in 1949 and 1956 as B35R. It was also re-engined as an L5G.
 
Gloucester City Bristol L5G CFH604
In its current life - seen here with Carters Steam Fair at West Wycombe in 2007 - it has had further internal modifications as a mobile home, complete with picket fence around its temporary garden!
