Tilling Regals: T307-318: Bus Histories

These histories are not complete, and are being compiled by me from a variety of sources (that do not always agree) as I acquire the data. Particularly useful have been:

T 307-318 (Total 12) delivered in 1932, plus a spare body (on T370 from 1936)

Chassis: AEC Regal 662, A140, (later A145) six cylinder OHC petrol engine, Type 3T3: crash gearbox, 4T3: fluid flywheel
Lockheed brakes.

Body: Tilling-built forward entrance, 28 seat bodies.
