One of my personal favourites, this picture almost looks posed, when the truth is that it was little better than a 'grab shot'. Berresfords in the mid to late '70's acquired about half a dozen of this batch of ex North Western Road Car AEC Reliance 590's with Willowbrook bodies. They were roughly a 50 /50 split with bus and D.P. types. 930 was one of the former and painted in Berresford's Ayres red and ivory, whilst the 'coaches' were all over ivory. The exploits of VDB 951 were legendry! The bus in the picture no longer exists, and the filling station re-developed out of all recognition. I doubt whether the Jag, the Marina or Escort survive either.
