Hebble Motor Services
1952
AEC Regent III
Willowbrook L55R

This is one of the last batch of Regent IIIs Hebble took delivery of, to say it was new in 1952 it looks as if it was built well before that. I think it is the drivers sloping small window that makes it look older. Although from what I can gather the Willowbrook bodywork had excellent interior finish.

This batch or Regents were type 9612A (A=crash gears) which was a change from the previuos Roe bodied Regents which were type 9612E (E=epicyclic pre-selector). I remember them on the Joint Bradford-Huddersfield route 64
