Description
Southdown Buses in Preservation showcases over 100 preserved vehicles from one of the UK's most iconic operators. Formed in 1915, Southdown Motor Services became synonymous with green-and-cream buses and coaches along the south coast of Sussex and Hampshire. Many of these former Southdown buses have been lovingly restored to a high standard, some licensed for passenger hire while others attend rallies and shows. A selection of images from other operators, such as Brighton Hove & District, is also featured, highlighting the vehicles that passed into Southdown's fleet in 1969. This collection offers a unique glimpse into Britain's bus heritage, with many examples still surviving today thanks to meticulous preservation efforts.
