This delightful Daimler CVG6 with Northern Counties double-deck, centre door bodywork is a unique survivor, so let's take it for a drive!

It began life with the Stalybridge, Hyde, Mossley and Dukinfield Transport and Electric board, serving until 1972. It has a Gardner 6LW diesel engine, Daimler's own fluid flywheel and Wilson pre-select 4-speed gearbox and is beautifully preserved. Owner David Jones takes us through the history of VTU 76 before I enjoy a drive.

The bus can sometimes be seen and even ridden at Hooton Park Hangers, Cheshire when they hold an open day. A fascinating place to visit! Find them online or on Facebook.
