Bristol Vintage Bus Group

A yard open to the skies on a chicken farm, a unit on a trading estate and a dilapidated railway goods shed comprise a variety of parking places used for several illustrious public service vehicles. This is a record documenting the start-up, development and outcome of an interest that consumed Roy, David and Philip in 1972. Little did they think that their activity would be a journey down a road that would have potholes to navigate, and a shed load of humour, combined with fun and friendship along the way. This enterprising trio, their heads down, getting their hands dirty, diligently putting in thousands of man-hours to expend vast amounts of energy and inspiration. The three realised they needed revenue to support their objectives so versatility came to the fore and practical skills evolved when they had to start developing and printing their own photographs at home. All these worthwhile endeavours collectively produced the Bristol Vintage Bus Group.
