Bristol VRT SL3, with Eastern Coachworks body.

I think these buses were never used in London, but were common in
Manchester and other provincial cities.

VRs were widespread across the National Bus Company but not so common
amongst municipal operators.

And some were used in London in the early days of tendering. I don't
think any were red though BICBW.
