Nicknamed ‘the bubble’, this Plaxton-bodied Mercedes-Benz was a forerunner of the latest Sprinters to join the fleet, having been operated by its Kirkpatrick of Deeside subsidiary in the early 1990s. In largely original condition, it has recently been returned to operational order by the Bus Collection at Alford. JONATHAN WELCH
