The Birmingham Corporation AEC Regent has been through a thorough restoration (full story at www.wythall.org.uk/vehicles/v....

What on earth has happened to modern bus technology???
For 91 years old that sounded absolutely superb - not far off perfection 👌! Excellent work to those that worked on the restoration of the bus 😊👍👏👏👏👏👏!!!!!
At the Oxford Bus Museum, AEC Regent / Park Royal PWL 413 (1950's) sounds similar. Very musical except for the top gear 😅.
Such a stunning bus and sounds wonderful
D 124 Gearbox with constant mesh engagement of 3rd gear - lovely gearbox to use, so positive. Still Haven't worked out if this a 6.1 or 7.4 petrol engine but both are very 'torquey' at low revs. Beautiful buses to drive and I have happy memories of T31 and ST922 from L.B.M. at Brooklands.
Beautiful bus fantastic restoration
Looking forward to riding on this beauty in the coming open days. Sounds and looks beautiful well done to all those involved in putting this beauty back on the road. That crash gearbox looks like it takes a bit of getting used to
Looks and sounds superb!
Just superb
Second gear starts on an AEC ?! Very tuneful D124 box - nice
Yes, a beautifully tuneful gearbox! I've always wondered if certain AEC boxes were more musical than others? Coach Reliance's never seemed to have such a noticeable whine as Regent buses. Be great if you have any info?
Fantastic restoration, very well done!
Stunning!
Many thanks Rob and others for all the hard work to get her up and running.
I enjoy these Wythall videos and would love to see a similar format on the BMMO S12 is that possible?
