It’s a double decker bus with a remarkable history spanning more than 90 years – and now AEC Regent 486 has a new lease of life after a painstaking restoration that’s cost £500,000.

The bus started life on the roads of Birmingham in 1931; was sent to work in London during World War Two; returned to Birmingham after the city lost 145 buses in an air raid at Hockley; sold for scrap in 1946; discovered in a Herefordshire field in 1970; and is now a gleaming reminder of a bygone era of transport at a museum in north Worcestershire.
