Saw this 1949 Bedford OB Coach parked adjacent to my home, waiting to take a Bride to a church in New Milton to be married. The company Mervins Coaches come from Micheldever Nr Winchester, chated to the driver (son of the company owner) who thought he recognised my chevy truck from Basingstoke show, he went on to tell me his father was on the thornycroft comity. The coach has appeared in 12 or more films.

Yup, see it regularly around Basingstoke, but never had a chance to check it out up close. Lovely looking machine.

I've seen that just around the corner from my mates place, all done up in its wedding finery. It must have been driven by the owner as he was an oldish chap and was as chuffed as f*** that I stopped and had a long chat with him.
