LWL3
Bristol LWL coach - 1951 'Queen Mary' |
|
|
|
A
departure from traditional ECW practice appeared in 1950 with the introduction of the
Bristol `L` coach body. They were built to the standard dimensions of the time of
27`0" x 7`6", the PV2 radiator was retained and blended in well with the full
front design. A front entrance was incorporated the inclusion of a curved waist-rail
and a seating capacity was 31. Extensive use of polished aluminium meant that the
main colour was Tilling cream and the secondary colour was confined to the wings and a
thin strip along the skirt. A total of 38 were built and these were succeeded by a 30` x
8` LWL `Queen Mary` version. This longer coach body generally seated 35 with a few 37
exceptions.
The curved-waist was similar to the `L` but the front was modified with the radiator
concealed behind a decorative grille. It was designed for the Bristol LWL chassis though a
few were on the 7`6`` wide LL chassis and a few instances of re-bodying. An interesting
one being LWL 995 of Newbury & District which was on a 1947 Leyland Tiger PS1 with
exposed radiator. Even more interesting were the supply of 13 Daimler CVD 6 chassis from
Walter Alexander for `Queen Mary` bodies. These were almost identical to the Bristols.
The Tilling coach fleet in London also had some pre-war AEC Regals re-bodied.
