| Two contributors sent in photographs of this previously unknown vehicle recently. TSE299X was a DAF 2800 recovery truck with Wreckers International bodywork. New in May 1982, the Scottish registration suggests it was not new to Ensign, although it was with them by 21st May 1989 when it was photographed at Purfleet garage. The Ensignbus fleet at the time was painted in blue and silver and served about half a dozen LT routes. Although still utilising former LT DMS buses (one is visible in the background) more modern MCW Metrobuses were being bought new and second-hand. It is not known whether the red Vauxhall Astramax van parked in the background was also an Ensign service vehicle. |
