Gosport and Fareham Omnibus Co Ltd (Provincial) CHO449C started off as LT G276, GYL416, a Guy Arab with Northern Counties body in 1945. It was acquired by Provincial in May 1963, and in 1965 fitted with an air-cooled engine and rebodied by Reading.
The licencing authorities decided that these rebuilds was so radical that they were in effect new vehicles and therefore had to be re-registered
More details here.
The company became part of Hants and Dorset on 1st Jan 1970.
