Friends of King Alfred Buses
BEDFORD CA APPEAL
We've launched our appeal for £1,200 to complete restoration of our Bedford CALZ minibus, BHO 543C. It's quite a rare vehicle with its 11-seat Martin Walter bodywork and saw service with King Alfred Motor Services in 1967. To get it ready for Heritage Open Days in September it now needs a number of small jobs finishing and a professional repaint into eau-de-nil to match the other King Alfred Bedford coaches. If you would like to contribute, simply use the Donate button and send an email to Treasurer Stephen Bigley at sgbigleyacer@aol.com to let him know the money is for '543'.

We preserve all known remaining vehicles which worked for King Alfred - some 14 to be precise! We show our vehicles and often give free rides at events across the South.
