The Country STLs : Bus Histories

These histories are far from complete, and may contain inaccuracies. They are pieced together from fragments of information from a variety of sources, that do not always agree, so should develop with time. All information gratefully received!
Particularly useful have been:

STL 959-1043, 1056-1059 The First Series (Total 89) 10STL6

Chassis: AEC Regent 16ft 3in wheel-base, AEC A171 engine, AEC D132 preselector gearbox, fluid flywheel.
Body: Chiswick-built forward entrance, H29/19F
Livery: was initially two shades of green, with black trim bands, mudguards and silver roof.
Later it became green with white window surrounds, black bands and guards, silver roof.
The roof became red oxide during the war.
Post-war survivors gained the green overall with cream surrounds to the upper windows, while the last few went into green with just a single cream band.
