A large number of buses and coaches took part, both old and new, one of the newest was the Volvo BZL electric bus demonstrator and the oldest was the Leyland Lioness charabanc originally owned by White Rose Coaches of Rhyl, dating from 1929. The Kent Showground covers a large area and as well as the buses and coaches there were large displays of cars, motorbikes and commercial vehicles.
