Vehicle restoration behind the scenes
1969 dual purpose single deck, number 461 (PUF161H)

461 was delivered new in 1969 to Southdown Motor Services, Sussex. The chassis is a Leyland Leopard PSU3 with bodywork by Northern Counties of Wigan.
The vehicle is classed as 'dual purpose' with a build specification which meant it could either be used as a coach or an ordinary service bus. It is fitted with 49 'high back' seats, 2 of which can be removed to provide luggage space.
Regrettably the vehicle has been out of service for many years and requires complete overhaul which is unlikely to start until after coach 1749 is completed.
