Bedford made this version of the standard Bedford OB coach/bus for the War Department but many were taken up by commercial companies in peacetime. Our latest model, registered HHW 21, is as used by Bristol Tramways, whose Coat of Arms features on both sides of the vehicle. Decorated in the company colours of green and cream with black mudguards, the destination blind tell us it is heading for the Suspension Bridge. With interior wooden slatted seats and rows of raised seating at the rear, the model also comes with the small headlight configuration.
