A convoy of unusual buses in advertising liveries went past our office

One of them was an exotic looking vehicle in Lloyds TSB branding. Anyone
know what its background is? It looked more like something from Malta
than London.

Thank you - as an aside, my only visit to Malta a few years ago was while
these old buses were still in use, and I had wondered quite how old they
were. It was no surprise to read on the flickr page that this one was from
the late 60s - and that determining its exact age was a slightly complicated
matter - but interesting nevertheless. The 'G' registration would suggest
that being declared roadworthy in late 1968 was the key date for allocating
its British registration number
