Seen at Millennium Showbus is the beautifully restored Volvo Ailsa/Alexander 4738 (JOV738P) from
WMPTE's once 100 strong fleet of such buses.

The same bus, same place, 12 months later and looking just as good.

Whilst 4738 continued to make regular appearances at SHOWBUS in the intervening years our next picture is of it arriving at the 2005 event followed by Kenzies' unusual Van Hool bodied bus.

In 2005 4738 was posed with Maidstone & District's NBC trial Ailsa, 5385, another SHOWBUS regular and with newcomer, Derby Borough's 71, the only Ailsa built to lowheight. The picture clearly showing the "dip in the middle".
