Residing in what I think was Tayside Regional Council's depot at East Dock Street, Dundee on 21st August 1983, was FAV 827, an AEC Regent III with lowbridge Massey L27/26RD bodywork which carried Alexander (Northern) livery and fleetnumber NRC22.
It had been acquired by Alexander's with the James Sutherland, Peterhead business and was new in the late 1940's.
I didn't realise until I started to research this photo that it had been quite active on the bus rally circuit in the early 1970's.
