Lovely old girl i went to middle school in 1994 1997 we where on ouse valley coaches of Bedfordshire there were old Vauxhall plaxton coaches still really good then build to last can still remember the 1970 trim
How common was the pneumocyclic gearbox on a coach with a Volvo chassis? Apart from this example I've only every seen the pneumocyclic on a Leyland chassis, with all the other chassis options including Volvo always having a manual gearbox.
One thing that always bothered me about the Volvo B58 were the American wheel stud pattern. I would take the opportunity to fit the two hole rims common on American trucks. They look great. I never knew they came with an air post gear tower option. Was that from new? I'm in two minds about the Plaxton body. They look old and modern at the same time.
They were the main choice here in Australia. I travelled on a couple with a Voith transmission. Others had Allison autos. I've been on a B10M semi automatic. Extremely rare.

Love it. When I was going to school a modern coach was a Bedford Duple Dominant 1.
Same AEC Mandator Steering Wheel Never Wore Out Unlike All Their Versions Afterwards

The semi-automatic Pneumocylic gearbox was an option

how nuch is it
No Speed Limiter Then You Could Get It Off The Tachograph At About 3,200 Revs In The Red So M.P.H. Would Be🤨.....
A Real Drivers Coach Based On An A.E.C. Reliance When They Were Shipped Abroad So Similar....
But the AEC produced a much more musical sound - both from engine and gearbox!
Yes Of Coarse But You Could Plough Up And Down The Motorway All Day Without Blowing A Head Gasket Or Snapping A Crankshaft

Funny how low the vehicle is compared to modern coaches.
Yes, but better looking for it I think!
