Lancaster City Transport 1969 Seddon RU Pennine B??F Much has been written, on this website and elsewhere, about the Seddon Pennine. Most of such text is not complimentary.

Morris Works Band – Morris Commercial FF – 14 LFC
Morris Works Band 1961 Morris Commercial FF Wadham 14 LFC is another of those peculiar vehicles which was never a PSV. She is a Morris Commercial FF, new in 1961 with a Wadham RC27F body for use as the Morris Works Band transport. I suppose this explains the raised rear part of the saloon –…
