Whippet Coaches D850 AAV in Cambridge – 25 Oct 1988 (77-15)

Tuesday 25 October 1988 – Whippet Coaches operated this unusual Willowbrook bodied Leyland Atlantean AN68/2L registered D850 AAV in October 1987.

It was originally part of an order for export to Baghdad, Iraq but suffered fire damage prior to shipment. It was bought by a dealer, refurbished and converted from left hand drive to right hand drive but retained the central exit door and window layout as built.

Unfortunately, I was looking the wrong way down Drummer Street as the bus departed so missed a front shot.
