SPB753 was withdrawn from Victoria and sent to AEC Southall in January 1982 where I saw it parked inside.It was soon sent to Aldenham and modified to a much higher standard inside than SMS300 as a plumbing and electrical workshop in the standee area with shelves for plumbing and electrical supplies from the sealed shelved centre exit doors and back to the rear . It was based undercover at Bow garage for the 1982-85 duration of their rebuilding program and then drove under its own power to AEC Southall at the beginning of December 1985 at which time I bought it and restored it | Mick Overton | 03/02/2016 |
