AEC Regent I - STL 2377 Date: 1937 Registration: EGO 426 Acquired by Museum: 1988 Current State: Fully restored, operational STL 2377 was delivered to London Transport in November 1937 and allocated to Holloway garage. Although many of the EGO 331-EGO 489 registered batch were painted green for country area use in World War 2, STL 2377 remained red. Final allocation was Hornchurch garage until withdrawal from service in December 1953. Disposal was to dealer, W North of Leeds, in April 1954, passing on to Mulley's Motorways Ltd, Ixworth Suffolk, taking fleet No 39 for further passenger service from May 1954. Withdrawn by Mulley's in November 1961, the bus was stored until June 1966 when sold to Mr T Nicholson for preservation. Acquired by Mr A Hallpike of Bristol in January 1976, a start was made on reframing, but it was never completed. In March 1981, STL 2377 was purchased by Mr P Marshall for eventual restoration, but work never commenced. The vehicle arrived at Cobham Bus Museum in March 1988. The mechanical restoration was started in 1994, with the bodywork being completed with the financial assistance of the Science Museums 'Prism' fund. Restoration was finished in 2000, with the vehicle making its first public appearance at the Museums annual open day. Period adverts were applied a couple of years later in 2002. The vehicle is now a regular performer on the rally scene.
