7. VTX444
Rhondda Regent 464, 464KTG, in all her original glory, parked at Porth depot along with earlier sister 444, VTX444, in June 1970. 444 was an LD3RA with a Weymann body whilst 464 was a 2D3RA with a Metro-Cammell body. The main differences relate to the AEC front and I think that was more related to age than the chassis designation.
