About this website

The information contained herein is as accurate as I can make it and is provided for the interest of researchers, restorers and anyone interested in the preservation and restoration of buses and other vehicles manufactured at the Brislington works of the Bristol Tramways and Carriage Company.  My intention is to build up this site as a resource for vehicle owners and a jumping-off point for historians.   If you have any suggestions for items to be included, please email me.  Many of the buses depicted on my picture pages have been meticulously restored and painstakingly maintained to a high standard by enthusiasts. All contribute to keeping Britain's transport and manufacturing heritage alive. It is worth remembering that Britain was once known as the "workshop to the world" and each one of these lovingly cherished vehicles reflects a part of this period in our history. A great deal of time, effort and money goes into preserving an elderly vehicle - even a small car can take many months or even years to restore - so the task of restoring a large commercial vehicle and maintaining it in a safe and roadworthy condition should not be underestimated.  Many hours are spent in searching for spare parts or locating vehicles to be dismantled.  As one who gains much pleasure from the experience of owning, driving and travelling on vintage vehicles of all sizes, this site is my tribute to all the hard work put in by the enthusiasts who own these fine vehicles. Many of the vehicles pictured are owned by members of the Bristol Commercial Vehicle Register which exists to support and nurture the preservation of Bristol manufactured heavy commercial vehicles.
