Bristol K5G - a photo on Flickriver

Bristol K5G

            This was an entrant in the 'Double Deck Buses pre 1955' class at the Greater Manchester Transport Society's Trans Lancs Historic Vehicle Rally at Heaton Park, Manchester in September 1995. It's a 1939 Bristol K5G, provided new to the North Western Road Car Company Limited with fleet number 952 in May 1939, rebodied with a Willowbrook L27/26R body in November 1951 (and given the new fleet number 432), and taken out of service in July 1967. According to the DVLA it has a 7 litre diesel engine - presumably the Gardner 5-cylinder 5LW unit. The programme of the event said this:

Bristol K5G, Willowbrook L26/27R                                                            AJA152
North Western 432
Entered by     J. Pollock, Marple
The sole survivor of a once numerous batch of pre-war Bristols operated by the Company which were rebodied after the war. This particular vehicle received its new body in 1951. The owners claim they haven't finished exterior restoration!

The green bus alongside is a former Bury Corporation AEC Regent III.
