    The family holiday in August, 1995 was to the Isle of Wight where I was delighted to see some half cab Bristol Lodekka open toppers at The Needles. Luckily, I had my video camera with me; it was in the days of VHS which I have since digitalised so the quality is not up to the standards of today’s equipment, but at least it’s a record of these once commonplace 1950s vintage buses. Hope you approve:



    TTFN,

    Ron.

    I've very fond memories of these old classics, operating in a very fetching ivory livery, complete with armorial crest, on Bristol's sometime route 103 (Uphill=>Weston-super-Mare=>Worle). This shot of one is a lot more recent, but records indicate at least 4 of the 8 'convertibles' from my long lost youth survive to this day.

    There was an (even) older Bristol open topper (narrower body and radiator grille) which put in the odd appearance on that route, but I've been unable to identify it exactly.

    The real Crosville company in North Wales also had some.
