David Brown's coach HDV 641E is the subject of our first 'CLASSIC'

David has worked in the industry since before he left school. He worked for 'Premier' in Doncaster before it was taken over by South Yorkshire Transport. He has continued to work in the same job as South Yorkshire became 'Mainline' and ultimately became part of the 'First' enterprise.

David's coach, a 1967 Bristol with an MW6G chassis and an ECW body, has won many awards and will no doubt win many more. It has also appeared in the film 'Brassed Off' in 1996 and several TV programs.

You'll find details below followed by some photographs of this fine vehicle.
