What's wrong with me then? Why no comments?
I would think the year was 1961. We played St Helens that year & the coach looks brand spanking new in the photo. One of the Drivers would be Tommy Halsall. ( Helived in the farm across road from the garage it can be seen in the photo with 4 coaches on.) This vehicle was the only one of the three Duple Super Vega's purchased early 1961 that had a speedo that would register 70mph. It had a black back face with orange illumine's needle & numbers. The other two GJP613 & GJP591 only registered 60mph. They had a greyish back face on the speedo with white needle & letters. I know this is boringly anorachise, but i am amazed that I can recall such detail.
