 A popular bus on local tours at the Bristol Brislington Rally in 2013 was former 992 (GHT127). The bus was new to Bristol Tramways & Carriage Company for Bristol city services as C3315. In 1955 it lost its top when it headed for Brighton. Sold to a dealer in 1964 it was bought by BET company, Thomas Bros of Port Talbot. When both companies were part of the National Bus Company GHT127 found its way home to Bristol and was used for many years as a city tour bus in Bath and Bristol and as a promotional vehicle, visiting SHOWBUS several times. At one time it was in Guide Friday livery for Bath tours. | |
Seen here back with Bristol as 8583, the bus actually dates from 1941. It is seen here ferrying passengers on trips from the Weston Helicopter Museum on the occasion of the West of England August Rally..

The K enjoyed something of a second coming in the eighties. It even worked on a special occasion in London. It is seen here approaching the award dais at Showbus, Woburn Abbey about to receive an award from the Marquess of Tavistock.

 Seen again at Brislington in July 2016 the bus is in BH&D open top livery.

 Luckily it was not raining that day so this trio of open toppers were a big hit on the local tours. BH&D leads former Bristol Lodekka FS6G 8579 (869NHT) and Western National LDL 1936 (VDV753).
