Vehicle history

 

The chassis was new to Wilts and Dorset Motor Services in 1947, but a body wasn't fitted until 1949.  It remained in service with Wilts and Dorset until 1962, before  being used by Enham Alamein Disabled Village at Andover and then passing into preservation.  Its current owner bought the bus in 1983.

 

Current situation

 

EMW284 was repainted at the start of 2012 and is back in use.
