Featuring a lively mix of articles and photo-features portraying the passenger transport scene in the period up to the mid-1970s, the book is an entertaining exercise in nostalgia for all those who remember the era of the half-cab bus.

Illustrated throughout with a fascinating selection of historic colour and mono Illustrations, Classic Bus Yearbook 9 is an excellent source of nostalgia for days long gone by when half cabs were King, and the private car largely inconspicuous. show less
