1st June 2009 RV720 Portsmouth 1931 Crossley Condor

1st June 2009 This is a very unique vehicle, a Crossley Condor that was delivered to Portsmouth Corporation in 1931 and is the only one known one to survive.   This one was bodied by Short Brothers as a 48-seat Double Deck bus and then eventually it was converted by the Corporation into a breakdown tender around 1948.  Today it was recovered with the help of Boarhunt Recovery from Portsmouth Museum's Beam Engine Site, and was suffering from being stored in the open for a number of years under Tarpaulin.
