Let's take a quick trip down memory lane and remember OK Motor Services Leyland Tiger Plaxton Supreme V 1982 dual purpose coach.
Then owned and preserved by Tim Phillips of Cambridgeshire
The coach registration is LFT 5X , the fifth of six identical identical vehicles with consecutive numbers delivered to OK in February 1982 and it is the only survivor.
Bought from a Kent breakers yard in 2012 in a neglected state in faded white and bare metal.
Mr Phillips had the dream to bring this vehicle back home to Bishop Auckland depot once he discovered her history .
We have a short stop at Escomb Church and then head off towards Toft Hill and returned back to Bishop Auckland town centre.
Update to 2023 and the dream became a reality.
Tim Phillips decided to sell LFT and knew it would be more loved and enjoyed and appreciated back in the North East rather than Cambridgeshire.
Graeme Scarlett saw LFT 5X for sale and brought back to the north east to complement his fleet of preserved vintage vehicles.
