Okay, you're half-way there Max. The coachwork is by Whitson but it's not a Foden.
As a clue, this chassis manufacturer made less than half-a-dozen psv chassis.
I'll LOCK it for you until your next reply only to complete it.

Found it - and not what I was expecting - Rowe Hillmaster in the livery of Rowe's Coaches.

Yes, that's it! One point for you.
I hope that you will be solving some of my bus/coach puzzles in future - there's not too many of us on this site.
