Tasker tractor and Titan 20230703--124

W. Tasker and Sons Ltd. steam-powered tractor no. 1709, overtakes Southdown Motor Services Leyland Titan PD1 UF4813 during a David Williams photo charter at Amberley Museum. [Pole, 2/6 sections (~2.7m)]

The traction engine was built in 1916 and internet sources quote it with the registration number PU4724. The Southdown bus was built in 1929, fitted with this open-topped Brush body from new; it survived into preservation as a result of being restored by Southdown as part of its heritage fleet, which remained in operation long after the Stagecoach takeover, but is now usually resident at Amberley which has a collection of Southdown buses as well as a Southdown bus garage built using components rescued from several such buildings.
