They sure don't make'em like that anymore. Love that engine, Common place throughout the UK to have AECs at one time with one model or another.
Listen to that idle. I also like the dash. I remember them in Reliances, Regal IVs and Swifts.
Lovely AEC engine and gearbox whine
Lovely D166 box and listen to that 590 - just as nice as the day I rode around Derby in it, when she was the training bus, thanks to licencing officer Mr. Alefounder - magic!
Interested to know more about AEC gearboxes - would you say the D166 is one of the most musical? Certainly sounds it here! I first noticed transmission sounds as a kid visiting Sheffield in the late 1960's and riding on their Regent's, such a beautiful whine, especially when climbing the city's steep hills. Would they be fitted with the same box?
Many exhilarating rides on these on the X42 Derby-Nottingham. Always driven to the max. Love the D166 gearbox
A beautiful symphony! I wonder why the AEC gearbox whine seems to vary between individual buses?
Magic! BTW, just try that gearchange and steering on a PD3. Phew!!
Good Good Varey Good
Very surprised to see how the busses were driven then as i mean stering wheel and gears so small compared to now you cant get behind the seats looks like thats just a kids toy and noisy😮
Has the regent 5 equipped 5-speed non-synchromesh gearbox?
