The Bedford Y series was manufactured between1970 until 1986. It was a 10-metre (33 ft) coach chassis intended to replace the Bedford VAM. The engine was mounted centrally under the floor.
Plaxtons of Scarborough, built the Panorama Elite between 1968 and 1975, three versions (MkI, II and III) were built with variations available for different purposes.
For the MkIII pantograph windscreen wipers were introduced, the twin round rear lights were replaced by a single, vertical, lozenge-shaped cluster. The side trim was revised slightly, with the twin beading strips running separately along the length of the coach, only meeting at the very front.
The model was replaced in 1975 by the Supreme after some 6,000 units were produced.
MFS was supplied by Moseley of Loughborough and can carry 45 passengers, the current odometer reading is some 373,500 KM.
Our vendors have fully restored the Elite with a full new interior is period coverings, the bodywork has also been repainted. The bus is fully operational and can be put into service straight away.
