'Mabel'

Mabel has been with Worth's Motor Service Ltd aka Worth's Coaches since new. She was used on charter, contract, and stage service work up until December 1978. She was parked up outside for 10 years then brought inside in 1989. Some work was done including replacement of the ash wood frame under the panels and painting back to near original colours. The flooring was also redone inside. The rest of the interior remains original. She was the parked up again in the side shed, occasionally being started and ran in the yard approximately every ten years or so. She now attends some local rallies so keep an eye out for when she is out and about. You can also follow her journeys on her Facebook page.

The Bedford SB

The Bedford SB Series was the replacement of the OB Series and were built from 1950 until 1986 in Luton. These were the first Bedfords to have forward control with the driver next to the engine and the axle underneath. The Duple Vega bodywork was intended for the new production model of the Bedford SB and the bodywork featured a gently curving waistline, typical of Duple.
