提起Southdown Motor,當然唔少得全幅式車頭嘅NC車身利蘭泰坦PD3/4,中巴喺70年代亦曾經引入一批二手PD應急:

呢部就配上全景式車窗,通風窗設計都比較特別:

除咗淺水灣、深水灣、清水灣,重有個「淡水灣」


1940年嘅Bristol K5G:

二戰前嘅泰坦TD5:

Bournemouth Transport嘅Weymann雙門雙梯車身泰坦PD3:

Swindon Corporation嘅丹拿CVG6,配上Weymann車身:

跟住到後置引擎雙層,當然唔少得Bristol VRT:

VRT分做Series 1、2同3,以第三型最多人買亦最易認,見到引擎室通風口唔喺引擎蓋上,而喺上層車窗下面,就一定係Series 3:

所有Series 1同早期Series 2都係用平頭ECW車身,而且近車頭嘅車身向前收窄:

大多數Series 2 (左) 配上曲玻璃 (即BET標準擋風玻璃),車身兩邊平直,車咀同Series 3 (右) 有分別:

一部早期Atlantean PDR1/1,配上Weymann矮車身:

1962年或之前出廠嘅亞特蘭大,引擎蓋係成個向上打開:

面積細但好厚嘅水箱,同埋大大嚿48度angle drive:

PDR1/1係用傳統尾軸,要做到矮車身就只能夠用sunken gangway。Weymann用一個折衷做法,只將上層最後三排抬高,並變成四人長凳,其餘部分就同普通雙層巴一樣:

City of Portsmouth嘅MCW高車身PDR1/1:

來自Southampton嘅East Lancs車身AN68:

同樣係East Lancs車身嘅蘭,今次係奧林:

87年出廠,差唔多係Hydracyclic自動波嘅尾班車:

全車配上高背座椅:

舊款ECW客車版車身11米奧林,類似城巴7號:

亞歷山大R型矮身10.3米奧林,可惜頭燈唔係原裝:

利蘭自家矮車身9.6米奧林,喺ECW執笠之後繼續生產呢款車身:

錶板亦係用長方形燈號:

軟熟嘅高背座椅:

80年代尾開始嘅標準配搭,康明斯L10配ZF 4HP500,把聲唔錯,可惜lock-up clutch有問題:
East Lancs E型車身Dominator,外型似足亞歷山大R型,只係鬼面罩同某啲細節位唔同:

車尾就係典型嘅East Lancs線條:

車廠&車身廠水牌:

Dominator一向係少數民族,今時今日重可以見到實在難得:

底盤鐵牌,留意引擎係吉拿6LXCT:

車廂內籠,完全冇抄襲嘅味道:

上車聽到空轉聲已經肯定係吉偈,不過行起上嚟把聲又唔多似6LXB,而且比較靜,於是我就估佢係6LXCT,落車時睇塊鐵牌先至確定

好多年冇聽過6LXCT啦...
到單層車,首先有亞歷山大PS車身富豪B10M:

亞歷山大Dash車身9.8米飛鏢:

「飛鏢進化論」,Dart > Dart SLF > E200 Dart:

都普Dartline車身8.5米飛鏢:

利蘭Lynx:

Lynx嘅駕駛室佈置:

Plaxton Paramount I 3500車身利蘭Tiger:

同樣係Tiger,配上一代車身,Plaxton Supreme GT:

再上一代,Plaxton Panorama Elite III,底盤係AEC Reliance:

利蘭同MCW喺1949年合作推出嘅Olympic,integral構造,開始咗50年代中置引擎單層巴士盛行嘅風氣:

Bournemouth Transport嘅36呎丹拿Roadliner,配上Willowbrook車身:

Roadliner原型車基本上係一部尾橫置平臥引擎嘅珍寶,不過量產型係用康明斯V6或柏金斯V8,縱置收喺尾排座位下面:

部車原本係用康明斯V6 (所以型號名係SRC6),但太唔可靠,所以換咗做柏金斯V8:

最後睇返啲現代車,呢部DAF DB250LF本來係Arriva London嘅DW55,退役後大改,全車換晒高背凳,上層重有啲「卡位」,頭幅更加換上Gemini 2款式:

不過車尾呃唔到人,一睇就知係舊款Pulsar Gemini車身:

底盤鐵牌:

E400車身Scania N230UD,髹上Stagecoach紀念East Kent Road Car Company一百週年嘅特別色:

Southdown Motor Services百週年特別色嘅Enviro300,

Stagecoach喺Winchester嘅E200 MMC:
