Manufacturer description

76OWB004 - Southern National Bedford OWB

Southern National was a bus company that operated in South West of England between 1929 and 1969 and then again between 1983 and 1999, at which point it was merged into First Group and the name ultimately disappeared.

Our Oxford Southern National Bedford Bus is decorated in their signature green and cream and is heading for Padstow - long before Rick Stein took residence in the little Cornish town, we are sure! Registered DOD 556, the bus has been modelled with the large headlight configuration. The wheel inserts reflect the green bodywork and the extensive silver masking even extends to the tax disc holder. Other exterior features, including the passenger step, mudguards and driver's door mirror are finished in black. The interior is particularly well detailed, too, with 'upholstered' green seats and black steering wheel.
