When a Perkins P6 diesel option was offered from around 1950 the type became CXD Series II, which appeared in 1956 in Series III form, essentially for export, with the BMC 5.1 litre diesel.
However, pictures of the bonneted model and the forward control version are both frequently described it being the CXB, so what is the true position?
Jenkinson says it was new in 1950, while PSVC says it was new in May 1951.
Regardless, we see her at Duxford on 24 September 1995. The entry for Symes in Jenkinson Preserved Buses 1978 is the last known owner at time of publication.
Why were just-postwar builders and their customers not content with simple, unpretentious, straight-waisted bodywork that sat easily on the chassis instead of appearing to crush it? It’s always sad to see old vehicles reach this stage, but doubly so when they are rare to start with. The PSVC entry for 2012 says LVO 530 was new to Lees, Worksop, while Jenkinson’s book of 1978 say it was new to Symes, Devonshire Hill.
Saving the chassis is, nevertheless, a fruitful enterprise. While the sources agree that t is an Austin K8 with Kenex body, PSVC says it is of the C12F layout, but Jenkinson says it is of C14F layout.
A picture of this exhibit may be found here carrying the fictitious registration number M(ann) E(gerton) 1949:- I remain sceptical that the 1948 forward control conversion was entirely carried out by Mann Egerton as production examples from Austin began appearing shortly after the Earls Court Show, though it may well be that the Norwich based coach builder put pressure on, and collaborated with, Austin in bringing the model to the market.Apart from another 15 CVG6s with Burlingham bodies purchased at the same time (a mixture of single and double deckers and a committee coach), there were no further additions to the fleet until 1962.
