An unusual find was this truck with an interesting history. Owned by Richard Moore of Horncastle, it was a former Trent Motor Traction tow truck affectionately known as 'Gus'. Built in 1952 as an AEC Militant heavy truck, it was later given an Eastern Coach Works RE body recycled from a Bristol single decker bus. It has since been preserved in the colours of Trent and with National Bus Company and AEC badges on its grill.
Also present were two privately owned preserved vehicles namely ex Eastern Counties Bristol RE / ECW EPW 516K and former Shearings Volvo B10M-61/Van Hool Alizee YXI 6327. Also on site was American school bus US56 BUS.
My thanks to Jamie for the photos.
