5 April 2009 - Cobham (UK). An example of the typical London single desk bus of the late 1920s. This one was built for the famous General bus company and came into London Transport ownership soon after. These buses were usually found in the growing suburban areas around Central London and had the same front engine, rear entrance layout as the double deckers of the time. This bus was built with a petrol engine (converted to diesel in 1931) and was the single deck version of the famous AEC Regent. It ran in service until 1956 and was then preserved. This was the last General bus owned by London Transport and the first UK bus to be privately preserved.

5 April 2009 - Surrey, UK - Cobham: The vehicle that started the whole bus preservation movement in the UK was this 1929 AEC Regal 1, built in the London General company`s works at Chiswick and operating in service or as a training bus until 1956, when it was the very last original LGOC vehicle owned by London Transport. Preserved by a small group of enthusiasts, it was stored for many years until the London Bus Preservation Trust placed it in their Brooklands museum in 1994. The bus has a petrol engine and 30 seats and would have operated in the London suburbs.
