Preserved Scottish Omnibuses BFS 471L (ZC471) | 2024 SVBM Open Weekend

Preserved Scottish Omnibuses BFS 471L (ZC471) | 2024 SVBM Open Weekend | SVBM, Fife

            Catching the late afternoon sun is the latest restoration project at Lathalmond: this rare Y Type-bodied YRQ, one of 15 delivered to Scottish Omnibuses (as it was then) in October/November 1972. 

Having only seen it up on stilts in the main engineering shed being worked on (the one closest to the site entrance) every time I've visited, edging closer to (external at least) completion, it was a real nice surprise seeing it out in the open this year, looking better than new. The quality of this restoration is top-notch, as is the norm from the Lathalmond lads. No doubt in my mind that it will look stunning when fully restored.
