Bristol LS6G - Southern National (Royal Blue) 1299 - OTT 98

New in 1953 to the Southern National Royal Blue fleet this is an example of the later body style with flat full width windscreens and a wider passenger door.  Originally with 41 seats, 1299 had an interior renovation and was reseated at ECW in October 1961. After 33 years the DTC generously donated 1299 to WHOTT together with sufficient funds to completely overhaul the engine.  This work was completed in time for its first outing on the WHOTT Royal Blue Run from Cheltenham to Weymouth in June 2007.
