The coach company H V Burlingham was a British business based in Blackpool, established in 1928. A single trader, Herbert Victor Burlingham had seen an opening for luxury coach travel to the busy British seaside town and set about providing them. The company was highly successful and he sold out to two local businessmen in 1930. Burllngham traded until 1960 when it was taken over by London rivals Duple Motor Bodies Ltd who manufactured out of both Hendon and the original Burlingham premises in Blackpool. Production continued until 1969 when Duple went into liquidation.
This 1:148 scale release on the Burlingham Seagull is decorated as run by Stratford Blue Motors in Stratford-upon-Avon. The rich cream and royal blue colour scheme is complemented with lots of external chrome and the Stratford name is printed in gold along the sides. The interior is dark blue. The coach is on its way to Stratford Races, registered OUE 12, where no doubt there was much excitement to be had! |
