Magic Bus

On my travels I came across this old bus in Peebles. It is owned by the Peebles Hydro Hotel and used to ferry guest about. Helpfully there was an information sheet displayed. It's a Bristol KSW 5G dating from 1953. It is powered by a 5 cylinder 7 litre Gardner diesel engine. It was a service bus in Essex until 1980 when it went to Holland before returning to this country last year.
