| We acquired this van in April 2008 with a view to replicating a service van that South Yorkshire PTE had in the mid 1980's. M63-PHE179X was used at Doncaster Depot and was painted into a representation of Doncaster Transport van livery. Our M63 is registered TTO78X and was registered in Nottinghamshire. |
The original M63 sometimes accompanied the show buses 1797 and 2214 to rallies. The van is seen posed at Santoft. (Bob Ashton) |
