MLF 347/8 were new to Molins Machines for use as staff buses.  They
were in the company of NKR 529, a full-front Brockhouse-bodied
Crossley which is happily still with us.

MLF 347/8 were very late-surviving Crossley saloons and ended up with
D & J Gittins of Wrexham.

David Beilby

That confirms the operator and body. I've no idea who Machin was. I'm just wondering who in the London area (apart from London Transport) would need newservice buses in c.1952 (the date of the MLF registration).

I am not sure whether this is Phillips, Rhostyllen or Williams, Ponciau (CN): MLF 347. Crossley with unknown bus body, new c. 19xx. Can anyone help, please ?

  Date not recorded (1960s).
