Oxford 76MW6xxx Series Bristol MW6G ECW Coach |
The model is based on a Bristol MW6G with the later style ECW coach body introduced in the early 1960's. The body styling is similar to the design used on the larger Bristol RE type coaches and was supplied to number Tilling group operators including Royal Blue, Bristol Greyhound, Crosville, West Yorkshire, Eastern Counties & Hants & Dorset. The body typically seated 37 passengers and versions existed with & without cove roof windows. Some of the vehicles survived long enough to gain National Express white coach or red & green bus liveries in the early 1970's. The Oxford model was announced in October 2015 with first releases occurring in the first quarter of 2017. The first issue of the model was a Royal Blue version with cove roof windows. It isn't clear as yet if Oxford has any future plans to produce versions of the model without these windows. |
