Whippet of Fenstanton Volvo VAV 160X.

Seen in Cambridge was this Plaxton bodied Volvo B10M of Whippet of Fenstanton. I still don't know why the bodybuilder offered these coaches with shallow windows, I can only imagine the similarly treated Scottish overnight coaches with Alexander bodies set a trend based loosely on the American long distance sleepers. Not many were built by Plaxton which is hardly surprising as they didn't look very attractive compared to the usual deep screens.
