Hi All,

If I were looking for a 50's (Bedford?) bus to carry 15 - 20 passengers, either to buy or hire regularly in Central Scotland any recommendations for contacts?

Thanks

The only one I knew of was this one in Paisley. I see from his website he retired and looks to be starting up again. It might be worth contacting him, he had some lovely 50s coaches he used for tours, he may still have them

Alternatively, you could try the Scottish Vintage Vehicle Trust based in Fordneuk St, Bridgeton in Glasgow. They are a bus museum and have a very large collection of individually owned buses, many of which can be hired -

Then CVVT pointed me in the direction of http://www.irvinescoaches.co.uk/ and I spoke to the owner today who was a big classics fan with the Bus in the picture, some cars and an Albion lorry and looks like he can help.

Thanks again Scotty.
