Australian Swift workshop manuals needed
|
Hello Guys, I am in Australia and I have
an Australian built Leyland Swift 12/73, which I understand
is very similar to the AEC Swift chassis. I am currently in
the process of a motorhome conversion. Whilst parked up in
the back yard my puppy dogs have been underneath and chewed
up some air lines and electrical wiring. Currently I am trying
to determine where the hoses and cables should go, I don't
have any factory wiring diagrams or schematics, which is making
the process very tricky and more of a guessing game. Can you
please direct me to obtaining a workshop, service or operation
manual that may help for now and the future. Any assistance
would be much appreciated, All the best from the east coast
of Australia, Tony. Tony Shea, tbkshea@hotmail.com

Information about Regal BFA 565
|
Can anyone supply details of an AEC coach
used by Wilson or Wilcon as they became known, for transporting
their workers to building sites etc? It was registered BFA
565, and I think it was a Regal IV. It was a 41 seater, and
it was new in 1953 or thereabouts. I think it may have been
new to Viking of Burton On Trent. If anybody is able to supply
details of chassis and body numbers, body type and door position,
and details of who it was new to, I would be grateful of any
information. Wilson had it in the late 1960s. I last saw it
in 1970 when I was 10 years old. Wilson also had 2 Bedford
SB Harrington C41F around the same time. One was 174 KRA,
and the other one was 185 AWR. I can supply details to anyone
interested. Any details of other vehicles used by Wilson would
be appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation. From Steve Paine,

Hereford Regent info and AEC Matador
wanted
|
My stepdad and I are currently restoring
a Midland Red D9 4773. It is stored in Hereford and in 2010/11(not
too sure when) there was a bus that looked to be a Regent
being moved out. It was in a partly restored state and it
went along with a Bristol VR. I was just wondering what has
happened to it and if anything else had been done to it.
Also do you know if there are any ex bus company AEC Matadors
(like Q142 VOE the Midland Red Matador) for sale in the near
future?
