 An unexpected SHOWBUS 1999 entry was the Northern Counties bodied Volvo Olympian in Maidstone & District's final 'deregulation' livery - before Arriva arrived - so it fitted very nicely in the line up of preserved M&D vehicles, including Park Royal bodied AEC Regent V DH478 (VKR470), Albion Nimbus SO308 (308LKK), Leylsnd Leopards 3456 (EKL456K) and 2816 (OKO816G) and, then new to the rally scene, Volvo Ailsa 5385 (LKP385P). |
A North Weald entry in June 1999, but a popular attender at many rallies 3456 (EKL456K) is a short PSU4 Leopard with Marshall bodywork. Despite its size it achieves 53 seats with 3/2 seating at the rear.

 Seen together at Millennium Showbus were three Maidstone & District singledeckers of differents eras. On the left is an unusual Beadle bodied AEC Reliance SO224 (YKR224), the other are believed to be a pair of Marshall bodied Leyland Leopards with 3456 on the right. |
