Tesco Interloper

Tim Miller noted this Eastern Coach Works bodied Bristol FLF6G on Tesco's car park at Beccles earlier today. He was about to get a front short of it but it drove away before he could do so!



467 BMR was new to Wilts and Dorset as their 658 in October 1963. It transferred to Hants & Dorset nine years later becoming their 201. Acquired by dealer Omnibus Promotions of London in early 1980, it was subsequently sold to P &O Ferries by June 1982.

It was last recorded with the London Bus Export Company being used as a mobile exhibition unit by the British Heart Foundation during February 2002.

My thanks to Tim for the photo with its history being obtained from Rob Sly.
