Plaxton: The Supreme Years

The Plaxton Supreme was the epitome of classic British coachbuilding and was the most popular British built coach body of the 1970s and 1980s. Its high-floor cousin, the Viewmaster was the first high-floor coach built by a British coachbuilder and set the standard for many years to come. The story of these icons of British coachbuilding is told through 180 colour photographs, all taken during their operating heyday and accompanied by informative and sometimes humorous captions.
