I was really impressed by the build of this tow truck, it looked so smart inside, handy for parking up and sleeping overnight when on a long journey.

The Bristol FLF6G as a Passenger Bus #
Unfortunately I was unable to source photographs of CSG 29C as a passenger bus, but I’ve found a very similar vehicle for comparison.

Can the Bristol FLF6G truck tow an AEC Routemaster? #

Apparently not. The orange towing eye is not correct for lifting a Routemaster because it does not appear to have a wheel-lift cradle. Even if this tow truck had the correct attachment, towing a Routemaster would be pushing the limits of this vehicle’s safe towing capacity, since it would primarily have been used to tow single-deck buses.
