OUR STORY
OUR STORY
Our family vintage bus collection began in 1979 when we acquired our first bus, which was RT 3232, an AEC Regent ex London Transport.
At that time the family owned Ensign Bus Company Ltd, based in Purfleet, Essex, and over time the fleet grew to around 60 buses and coaches.
But they didn’t just sit in a shed - they were used to do what they did best - carry passengers! It could be a Wedding Party, a Celebration, a Corporate event, travelling the streets of London helping out on service when there was an emergency- a whole host of things!
Our buses appeared in countless films and television productions, and you would be surprised at how many times you may have seen our buses on screen and not realised it
We sold Ensignbus to First Bus in March 2023, but the sale did not include the vintage bus collection and the family decided to build a Bus Museum to house them all. The idea was to create a place where everyone can come to admire our wonderful collection, with buses and coaches dating from 1932 to 1988.
We want it to be fun for all of the family, with plenty of things to occupy everyone from 2 to 102.
We are a family with a passion for buses, and everyone has played a part in bringing this dream to reality
There are many friends of the family who help and assist, and they are all part of the larger ‘family’
So come along and enjoy your time with the family!
