AEC
Regent II
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AEC_Regent_II
The AEC Regent II
chassis was destined to become a rarity. Whilst the production run of the
chassis between 1945 & 1947, during which period less than 700 were
produced, the last few remaining were still to be bodied at Park Royal in 1948
for Reading Corporation,
I'm grateful to Ian McLellan-Smith for this rare image of the lower saloon of
one of the batch of ten Regent II chassis for Reading Corporation (Body Nos. B33218-28)
delivered in September 1948. Yes, the batch of body numbers make eleven
bodies and not ten; one of these bodies was for the re-bodying of a Regent II
chassis from a batch delivered the previous year whose body had been destroyed
in a fire shortly after delivery.
Does
anyone have any other images of PRV bodied Regent II chassis?
