'Pakamac' Bus!

Post by plasphil »

While doing some research on a 'non fetish' subject, I found that in 1959 Pakamac converted an old London double decker bus to a mobile showroom for touring the UK. Presumably with a display of their raincoats, how big was their range and did they make any type other than plastic? I believe it lasted 2-3 years and may have gone onto the continent? Just in case anyone's interested, it was RT73-FXT 248
Now there's an idea for Gary!

Ah, one of Irvine's finest machines but where would he find one of those these days? Probably have to settle for an ex Stagecoach Trident!

I would be willing to be the bus driver as long as I could wear a shiny pvc uniform. Better cover the drivers seat in pvc as well, lol.
