Plaxton
The Supreme Years
Howard Berry New Paperback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Established in North Yorkshire in 1907 as a joinery workshop, Plaxton became the country’s leading bus and coach bodybuilder. Concentrating on the 1970s and 1980s these 180 photographs show the Supreme – which became the era’s most popular and widely used model – and the Viewmaster in use around the country, with captions providing context.
Product information
Full publisher description
The Plaxton Supreme was the epitome of classic British coachbuilding and was the most popular British-built coach body of the 1970s and 1980s. Its high-floor cousin, the Viewmaster, was the first high-floor coach produced by a British coachbuilder and set the standard for many years to come. The story of these icons of British coachbuilding is told through 180 colour photographs, all taken during their operating heyday and accompanied by informative and sometimes humorous captions.
