Category:Malta bus (FBY 667)

FBY 667 is a former yellow Malta route bus, now in preservation in the UK after use in the 2012 Summer Olympics torch relay. It's believed to be a 1955 Bedford SB chassis with a locally built Barbara body. After withdrawal from service it was one of two ex-Malta buses brought to the UK by Lloyds Banking Group for use as floats in the 2012 relay. It was driven/sailed to the UK on the Maltese export plate VIB 667, before taking part in the relay on the UK plate SKR 616G. For the relay it was extensively modified by South East Coachworks (see float category for full details). After the relay it entered preservation with the Go-Coach Hire/DBY364 Group (who also own DBY 364), being restored by South East Coachworks to Maltese condition.
