and the radiator grille having been changed.
The bus
- KMB was the only customer for the Albion Victor VT23L and 100 examples
were received during 1963/64. The 41-seat bodywork was delivered as ckd
kits from Metal Sections. They featured two doorways, both of which were
immediately behind each nearside wheelarch, and were initially fitted with
tubular sliding gates operated by the conductor.
AD7028 was first registered in September
1963 and was rebodied by KMB in 1978. It was withdrawn in 1983.
