1952 luxury touring coach, number 1828

1828 was delivered new in 1952 to Southdown Motor Services, Sussex, for use on their luxury tours and excursions. The chassis is a Leyland Royal Tiger with Wayfarer 1 bodywork by Harrington of Hove.

As you can see from the picture, the coach is now almost derelict. However, many of the original features remain and it is our firm intention to fully restore the vehicle when we have time and funds. Meanwhile, the vehicle is now tucked away under cover having spent many years outside abandoned in a disused quarry.
