Ron Lyles & Son, Batley, G895VNA - FAP-Sanos S315.21

            The Sanos was a Yugoslavian licence-built Mercedes-Benz O 303. A total of 27 examples entered UK service between 1988-92 with Shearings taking a pair, this one, and sister G894VNA, in 05/1990. In fact, Lyles took them both off Shearings, of which I have a photo of further back. Buy one, get one free was it? The Sanos was marketed in the UK by Purfleet based Ensign dealership and bus operator as the Charisma. This one has been smartly repainted and fitted with air horns, a Merc. badge and O 303 badges just to fool 'Joe Public' and add a little extra 'bling'. It is seen here, making the right hand turn from Elizabeth Street, onto Buckingham Palace Road, outside London Victoria Coach Station. It had arrived from West Yorkshire and unloaded it's passengers at 'Sammys'. It would later work it's National Express service back 'oop North' to Leeds.

The camera being a Praktica MTL3 with the film being a Boots Colourslide.

I would request, as with all my photos, that they are not copied or downloaded in any way, shape or form. © Peter Steel 1995.
