No, i knew you'd pick Strathtay :D

Ok, i'd like you to find me the manufacturer, start build date, what engines would have been used and what body it is. For a bonus i'd like to know the numberplate and operator of this bus
it's not a Leyland.

I wasn't asking for the body options, I want the body of the one in the photo.

I also want why the bus, the one in the photo, (yes that exact bus) is famous.
