Bedford OB with Duple service bus body EHV 65
Owned by: Bedford EHV Group
This bus spent its working life providing community transport in East Ham before being saved from scrap by preservationist
Chris Salaman at an auction in the early 1970s. It was stored at Clive Wilkin’s “Wenhams” depot in Eastbourne, subsequently
being purchased by him. In the early 1980s the late Cliff Burgess became part-owner, taking over complete ownership in
1984. However, it wasn’t until the bus moved to CPPTD in that year that restoration work began. All the running units and
brakes were overhauled
The bus has been repainted into the livery of local operator Hants & Sussex, which once operated vehicles of this type.
Delivered in 1950 to East Ham Council
Acquired for restoration and preservation
Restored as an example of a vehicle in the livery of former
local independent operator “Hants & Sussex”
