Despite it's functional square appearance I rather liked the Wright Handybus, maybe it reminded me slightly of those early underfloor saloons of the Fifties like the RF and BMMO S14. Most were Dennis Darts but because of their unpopularity canny Stevenson's snapped up a number of less sophisticated Leyland Swifts based on the Leyland Terrier truck chassis yet liked them enough to buy some new some fairly unique new ones by Wright like J31 SFA seen in Wolverhampton in about 1988.
The wheels always looks to be too small on these buses. However, mechanically simple and Stevenson's seemed to get a decent service from them
