Maidstone & District is a fleet with a special place in enthusiasts' hearts
and their fleet was represented by rally stalwarts Leyland Leopard/Willowbrook
2816 (OKO816G) and Ailsa 5385 (LKP385P).

The former Leicester City fleet was again well represented at the 2003 event with
the two Metro-Scanias, the Titan PD3A and AEC Renown.
|

The AEC Renown won the prize for the best preseved East lancs bodied bus at the show.

One of the stars of EFE SHOWBUS International 2003 was what KMB call the
"Wrightbus". A Volvo Super Olympian with Northern Ireland built Wright bodywork.
The impressive vehicle was an early arrival at Duxford, having driven down from
Volvo's at Warwick prior to its journey to the former Crown colony. |
  |
Here the bus is parked up on prominent display to show visitors. |

To add to the Hong Kong flavour, New World First Bus Dennis Condor DM17, now
preserved in the UK was parked nearby. The KMB decker won the prize for the
best overseas entry this year, beating the competition from Germany, Holland and
Miami.
