Volvo Ailsa
Description:
In the early 1970s, a new competitor for the UK-based bus and coach manufacturing industry emerged in the guise of Volvo, which opened a factory at Irvine, on the Ayrshire coast, to supply chasses for the UK and export market. The company's primary foray into the double-deck market was the B55 Ailsa. The model was unusual because unlike the prevailing major models of the period, the Ailsa had its engine at the front, whilst still retaining a front entrance for one-person operation. Production of the Ailsa ran from 1973 until 1985, and in all, some 1000 were constructed for the UK and export markets. Major UK operators included the Scottish Bus Group, Tayside Regional Transport, and others, whilst London Regional Transport also took three experimental models. This fantastic new book examines the history of the Ailsa from its origins through to its final withdrawal. Packed with over 175 mono and color illustrations, the book will be sought after by enthusiasts nationwide.
