Hugh Scofield 1942/46 by the bonnet sides but the guards and head lamps don't line up with Chev. A GM (genetically modified) enigma!

Possibly built by my late uncle the late Alan Burrell he was the body builder at Powicks later Betts motors.

Keith Hingston
Brian Sutherland yes I worked with Alan and Bert Harder on that bus, along with Frank Powick. Buzz and Bert did the woodwork and Frank and I did the panel work. Alan and Bert were good blokes to work with.
