The blue one Ruairidh... obviously.
Funny you should say that, Nick. When it arrived in 2007 my next door neighbour, a chap who worked at GCHQ, asked me if it was an invalid carriage. I always referred to it as the 'Invalid Carriage'. Underneath it was a 1929 chassis with later engine and rear axle. The whole thing has now been recycled. Unfortunately the original number plate could not be retrieved, despite the original factory chassis and Car No. plates being in place on the bulkhead.
It remains an outstanding example of the Coachbuilders craft.
