In 2006 one time Douglas Corporation Transport 1963 Metro-Cammell
bodied AEC Regent V 2 (8123 MN) left the Island,
having latterly been used by local stunt racing team The Purple
Helmets. Bound for the south of England after restoration the Regent
was contracted to Casio for the re-launch of the G-Shock watch. It
has since toured the UK for this promotion and further venues are
planned. On March 28, 2008 Neville Posnett came across the bus at the
Sutton Scotney services on the A34 and was able to take the following
selection of photographs. The MERS would ike to thank Neville
for allowing their use on this website. Copyright for each image
remains with Mr. Posnett.
