Seen at a Woburn Abbey SHOWBUS is former Western National 333 (DOD518) a 1940 Bristol L chassis which was rebuilt in 1950 and rebodied by Beadle.

From an even earlier time, 1935, is Beadle bodied Bristol JW6A 172 (ATT922) safely stored under cover at the West of England Transport Collection at Winkleigh in August 2013. The body was originally built as a coach which was swapped for another Beadle coach body in 1946 and for this Beadle bus body in 1949!

This Bristol bodied Bristol H5G, 137 (FJ8967) of 1933 is seen at a Thames Valley & Great Western event in February 2013. The bus was new with a Brush body which was replaced during the War in 1942.

Seen at another TV&GWOT event in March 2016 the H5G is alongside Bristol ECW Lodekka 1969 (468FTT) of 1960. It is doubtful if they ever served the company simultaneously.
