Great video. When did Southdown 267 lose its roof?

[@StevenHughestransportvideos]

Thanks, I'm not sure when it lost its roof, certainly a few years ago.

@@StevenHughestransportvideos Thanks. I remember it new in service down in Sussex, where I still live!

@@paulbaker1000 was it one of the convertible ones? I know some had removable roofs.

[@paulbaker1000]

@@StevenHughestransportvideosNo, it was delivered with a roof. The convertibles all had original registration numbers of 400DCD - 424DCD and BUF425C - BUF429C. Most of the DCD batch were re-registered later to allow their registrations to be used on other vehicles, probably to disguise their age! Some of those survivors have subsequently regained their DCD registrations.

@@paulbaker1000 thanks, I knew some where convertibles but I'm not up on exactly which. It's a shame more convertible buses aren't built as there is some lovely routes they could be used on in summer.
