Yelloway CDK 171L in Rochdale - Sep 1973

Sept 1973 – CDK 171L, one of the 1973 Plaxton Panorama Elite bodied AEC Reliances sets out from the Rochdale garage on a private hire job connected with Orient Football Club (Leyton, London). I drew up the large label with their name on it – although it isn’t overly bold. I am not sure how this hire came about but I have a feeling it was a last minute job maybe to help out the Ewer Group (Grey-Green or Orange Luxury etc). Driven here by Kenny Harrison. I seem to recall that Kenny was in rather a hurry to get away and was not overjoyed about having this picture taken.
