Fiat bus, c. 1913. Reg no. LMJ 653G. Chassis no. 52B3260. Engine no. 52B525449
This bus was produced in 1913, dating between Fiat being the largest automotive company in Italy in 1910, to just before they switched production to war supplies during WW1. The bus is formed with a 52B type 52B chassis and engine, retaining the original body with a Brunswick Green colour scheme which is likely original. It was imported from abroad to England in 1963, undergoing several restorations. Its original colour scheme was uncovered during conservation work in the late 1990s.
