Bedford OB #EAJ 679
2 may 2010 - Redhill, UK - Brighton Road: Another Bedford OB coach, only slightly different from the one shown in my last photograph, this time with a Plaxton body. I have no idea of its history, except that it is named `Charlie`. These vehicles have always been a popular choice for preservationists, as many still have their original petrol engine and often have beautiful Art Deco interiors - just small enough for one person to restore, garage and repair.

Bedford OB #LDF 833
2 may 2010 - Redhill, UK - Princess Way: The Bedford OB was once a common sight, particularly with the Duple Vista body, as shown here.

I don`t know the history of this particular one, except that it was new to Bowles Coaches and was immortalised as a 1:24 scale model
