The thing that amazed me about the 2011 Bristol Bus Rally held down on the dockside was how many older Pre-NBC Bristol Omnibus vehicles there are in preservation from the Forties, Fifties and Sixties, which all looked beautifully restored with crews immaculately turned out in period uniform too. I'm sure if you put together all the roadworthy restored vehicles from a couple of more obvious favourite fleets like Southdown and Ribble or Aldershot and District and Crosville they would not match the number or sheer quality which is a great credit to the local chaity organisations and people of the Bristol area . One of the oldest vehicles there was C3336 GHT 154 this 1941 BBW bodied Bristol K5G which has been restored to it's pre-Nationalisation livery.
