Southampton 371, BOW507C is one of the AEC Regent V fleet, 2D3RA variety, with East Lancs H37/29R. Some sources say the body is by Neepsend.
Repainted in pre-war livery and renumbered 100 for the event, the change of identity marks the operator's Centenary. We see her in the parade on Itchen Bridge on Sunday 6 May 1979.

My then boss, the City Architect, told the Transport Manager that it looked nice enough, but asked why the P&O adverts? Apparently, Mr Lewis replied that P&O had paid for the repaint.
