Former Ribble 2529 (later 1212) BRN272 'White Lady' Burlingham bodied Leyland PD1/3 new in 1948 and withdrawn at the end of 1959.
Eight feet wide, platform doors and only 49 seats when new (later 53) made for comfort on Ribble's medium distance express services. Even in later life it was something of a flagship decker for Pond's of Nazeing, Essex.
Does the advert infer that Pond's depot had its own oil well?
