This double-decker bus was built in 1946. This bus was originally named No.13 (JK 9111). It was rebuilt to an open-top version in 1961; was withdrawn before entering service in the season of 1968; sold to the Royal Coach Inn in Houston, Texas. It was painted red when Royal Coach Inn obtained it and then painted cream in 1969
This pic was taken at Churchdale Road garage, Eastbourne in Sussex, January 1962; after conversion to open-top and before entering service.
