SM 3 entering the North Weald rally site 27/6/93 while still in service with AML Coaches.
The name AML was derived from from the initials of the former owner's daughter. Unfortunately the bus sustained engine damage on delivery to Blue Triangle and was never repaired. SM3 further deteriorated and was eventually scrapped. Photo: Paul Watson.
