This is a cracker Oily, the D series well loaded with some classic motors !
Nice one Dean Bedford J type
with a Daf Daffodil, Citroen "CV and a Simca 1500L, moved a few Simcas from Soton Docks in the 60s, well appointed interiors, the L models had wood facias and door cappings with leather upholstery.
The Daf cars of that era had variomatic belt drive, sometimes nicknamed the “elastic band” motors.

Hi Chris, the workshops, that was a really well maintained fleet, Dunlop had a tyre man in the garage(worked nights) , pulling in off late shift, as the bus was being fuelled(a woman did this) the tyre man went round hammer tapping the tyre walls, the shunter then parked the bus the day running sheet for the bus was put to the shift allocator’s office with any reported faults when clocking off. All coach painting was hand brushed and in my time there the fleet was 100 per cent AEC.

Just found the following info : Manufactured by Factoria Napoles SA, Zaragoza from1957 till 1967 when the factory was
taken over by Barreiros.Ranging from 1.5 to 9t payload the lighter models were powered by Spanish built Perkins engines
whereas the heavier models were powered by Henschel engines.
Before the motorway was put through the A1 went to the west side of Durham.
There were three prominent landmarks in the area. Travelling north there was the The ■■■■ o’ the North pub ( now houses and flats) then the traffic lights at Nevilles Cross and then this pub, which as long as I remember was called the Pot & Glass but apparently when new was the Neville Dene. It is now a Sainsbury Local.
Maybe some of the slighter older ones on here can remember it !!
