Open Top Regent - Devon General / Thomas Bros.

Purchased by Devon General in 1934 with Fleet No. 210, was one of 24 A.E.C. Regents with Short Bros. 52 seat double deck bodies.

In the early years of the war, 210 was converted to run on producer-gas. In 1948 the original body was rebuilt by Portsmouth Aviation and ran until 1955 when it was converted to open top for the summer seafront service.

Withdrawn from service in 1960 after 26 years with Devon General, the grand old lady was sold to Thomas Bros. of Port Talbot for further use on seafront services in South Wales...
