Manufacturer description

The Bedford OWB was a single decker bus which was originally manufactured for wartime use but it proved to be equally adaptable in civilian life. Here we see it as purchased and used by the Isle of Man Road Services registered GMN 145 in a bright red colour scheme with black trim and gold lettering. The destination blind indicates it is heading for Port Erin. The interior features Oxford's alternative seating configuration, that of an upholstered look rather than the slatted seating option. The seats are moulded in bright red against ivory coloured flooring. Note too, the use of the small headlight component option on this model.
