Specific Item Information: Decorated in the familiar Tilling green & cream of the North Wales Company, we see the double decker bus registered RFM 16 on home ground on Route 408 heading for Colwyn Bay and Llandudno. The fresh colour scheme is enhanced even further with the gold lettering on the sides, which even extends to the vehicle specification and contact details on the lower front near side behind the front wheel arch. Note too, the inclusion of the black foot hole on either side of the cab for the driver. With black chassis, the interior is green with a black platform and the steering wheel comes in white. The printed black lined radiator has a silver surround and features the Bristol badge.

It was the first production bus design to have no step up from the passenger entrance throughout the lower deck. Bristol manufactured over 5,200 Lodekkas from 1949 to 1968, as a standard double-deck vehicle for the UK state-owned bus sector
