OWE271K, a Bristol VRT/SL6G with East Lancs H43/30F body was new to Sheffield (271) in August 1972, one of a batch of 18. Several were acquired by Maidstone & District in 1979 from South Yorkshire PTE, and OWE271K was transferred to Hastings & District in March 1983.
This view was taken in Bexhill on a wet day in August 1984 when the bus carries a version of the Hastings Tramways traditional maroon and cream and fleetnumber 571.

This bus is now preserved at the Transport Museum, Wythall, in Sheffield livery.
