Inspired by one of Otto's contributions to the "Cars and . . . " thread, here's a coachbuilt coach for you to identify.
A point for the coachbuilder and another one for the "extrememly difficult" chassis provider.

Albion Valiant SPV 70 from 1934.

This coach was built by Thomas Harrington & Sons of Hove, East Sussex, in 1947 on a loyal AEC Regal III platform....

Good choice and a couple of points to you:
Here's the front which shows the AEC bit.
Not sure that the adjective "loyal" is helpful here, but hey-ho!

Comes in this handy pocket-size, as well

Nice one Otto!
I wonder if my Harrington contact had one for his children. Must ask him sometime.
