Subject: Rhondda 219 (GNY 371) Chassis: AEC Regent III O961 Body: Weymann H30/26R Location: Cardiff, Scott Street Date: c.1953
219 has a 'lazy' blind display on show, one that didn't require changing at the terminii.
The tax discs have now been moved to a more protected (and secure) position inside the cab. The excellent visibility resulting from the low bonnet line can be appreciated on this view. Note also the absence of a nearside mirror, a common practice at the time that seems unthinkable now - along with the absence of trafficators.
