AEC Regent III Chassis - Ex RT 2213 Date: 1952 Registration: KGU 142 Acquired by Museum: 1999 Current State: Fully restored, operational This RT had a fairly uneventful service life, initially working for London Transport and then moving on to Burwell and District Motor Service in 1970. Finally becoming the "Swings and Roundabouts Childrens Outgrown Shop". During 1994, while stored awaiting restoration, the bus was set on fire, being almost completely destroyed. The body remains were removed, and the chassis was eventually placed on loan to the Museum. Volunteers replaced damaged components, and reconditioned other items, including unseizing the engine. The chassis was completely cleaned and repainted, and now forms a interesting exhibit, showing the location of the various mechanical components. It also provides an interesting comparison with the rear engined DMS chassis that is also on show in the Museum. Kindly donated to the Trust by Mr D Garbutt. Chassis: AEC Regent 3 RT Body: - Engine: AEC A204 9.6 litre diesel with air operated pre-select gearbox Vehicle Classification: RT Date into service: 1952 Date of withdrawal: unknown
