Grey Green AEC Regent V East Lancs JJK262
Grey-Green acquired former Eastbourne Regent V 62 (JJK262) and used it as an open top promotional vehicle - in a mock London livery. A portent of things to come! The vehicle is seen climbing Windsor Castle Hill on the Road Run to the Hillingdon Show on the occasion of the Queen's Silver Jubilee, as part of Showbus 77.
