25301 - AEC Regal - East Yorkshire |
THE REAL COACH
Duple acquired the Hendon, London based Windover coach builder in the 1950's with it came the popular and stylish Huntingdon coach design. Duple continued to supply this bodywork in slightly modified form into the mid 50's. The Leyland Tiger PS1 and AEC Regal were in the early post war years two of the most popular chassis, favored by both the small independent and large group operators. Several of these coaches are still active in the hands of preservationists today, indeed 25303 can often be seen at rallies in Southern Britain.
THE EFE MODEL
The Windover version of this model (207 , 208 , 209) was originally planned to be released in a version with solid valences, however the reserved catalogue numbers have either not been issued or re-allocated, whether this model is that version or an additional version is open to some speculation.
