I am informed by its owner that this unique Daimler CRC6/36 (Cummins
V6-200) Northern Counties H86D is now in undercoat at Wythall museum.
It was rescued at the 11th. hour back in the 1980's by Dave Taylor,
after some frantic phone calls between myself and its last owner, Ian
Hale T/A Hale Bros. Coaches at Bishops Stortford. Prior to that, I
had got to know it when it ran for Mick Quigleys "Luxicoaches" at
Borrowash, Derby, where it workd on the Friesland School contract. It
is a rare and lucky survivor. The only other ones built of
this "Fleetline" variant were a batch of 15 for Johannesburg. I have
put a couple of photos of the beast in the photo section. Regards,
Tony.
