For Throwback Thursday this week, here’s a very unique bus, numbered 666, with distinctive design with the purpose of evaluating new features. The bus was completed in time to be exhibited at the 1978 Commercial Motor Show. During its operational life, 666 became an experimental test bed and one significant upgrade still present was the installation of a turbocharged Leyland 690 engine, resulting in exceptional performance.
The bus is now preserved by Nottingham Area Bus Society based at GCRN - Great Central Railway Nottingham and is one of the vehicles that will be displayed in the Old Market Square for our 140th anniversary event on Saturday 22nd September!
