Single-Deck Guy Arab Mk III (1948)

This well preserved single-deck ex Edinburgh Corporation Transport bus became a driver training vehicle when it reached the end of its service life in 1961.

ESG 652 passed into preservation in August 1973. Alongside it was its sister vehicle, ESG 653, whose final contribution was to donate much-needed components to ensure ESG 652 could be rebuilt and preserved for future generations.
