With entries rolling in we expect close to 100 AEC buses and coaches assembled to celebrate the centenary of AEC, makers of London's buses in a special AEC display at SHOWBUS.

The revolutionary twin steer Bedford VAL was introduced to the world 50 years ago in 1962 and TTC SHOWBUS will be hosting the official commemorative display of these unique vehicles with around a dozen or more preserved examples expected. We will be celebrating the London Olympics in our own inimitable way with a display of our own type of Olympians - the Leyland and Volvo sort! They will be joined by a bus fresh from Olympics work from First Games Transport.

Also celebrating 40 years is the Leyland National, and TTC SHOWBUS wil be hosting the Leyland National Group's commemorative display. London Country LN15 appeared in our first display at Brunel University in January 1973.
