In the early Eighties the fast dying breed of half-cabs like the Northampton Roe bodied Daimler CVG6 buses already looked something of an anachronism. But these were so solid elegant and reliable one almost couldn't understand why an operator should need to get rid of them as unlike the newer types they didn't seem to age looking very much as if they would happily go forever. Four years their senior 1965 BNH246G lasted till the end running alongside the final G-Reg buses and cornering briskly it was obviously still a good lively performer.
This bus survives to this day!
