 Arriving at SHOWBUS 2009 is preserved Grey Cars AEC Regal III TCR629 (LTA629) with its graceful Duple half cab body. |
 The coach is seen three years later at the AEC Centenary Rally in Newark in the company of A preserved Burlingham bodied Regal III of Burnhams, CFK340. |
 From the days before digital cameras is this image of Harrington Cavalier bodied AEC Reliance 1 (1RDV). Unfortunately the date and venue of this gathering is unknown.

 This Plaxton Supreme bodied Bristol LH6L was new to Western National as 3320 (AFJ740T) back in 1979, when it was doubtless delivered in NBC white. It was transferred to Grey Cars in the eighties and even spent a year with Greenslades before retiring from the erstwhile NBC fleets. It has been preserved in Grey Cars livery as seen here at an event in summer 2008. |
 This Cavalier was new to Devon General's Grey Cars fleet in 1964 a 3 (3RDV), part of a batch of 8 (1-8 with matching RDV registrations), several of which are preserved. With the establishment of the National Bus Company and consequent reorganisation, The Grey Car subsidiary was merged with Greenslades. Fleets across the west - Bristol Greyhound, Royal Blue, Red & White, Black & White amongst them - adopted a new unified white livery each with an individual colour band with Macrogamma Bold fleetnames, all a prelude to the National Express identity. Greenslades got turquoise as its colour and 3RDV, now numbered 433, is seen in Maidenhead Bus Station in 1974 on a Royal Blue working. |
