User / northernblue109 / A1 Service, Ayrshire: Dennis Jubilant/ECW (fiction)
4,857 items
I'm not entirely happy with this but decided to post it anyway. It's well known that A1 Service member Andrew Hunter wanted a front-engined Dennis Jubilant but couldn't find a coachbuilder willing to construct a 'one-off' body to UK specifications. He ultimately bought an East Lancs-bodied Dennis Dominator and I'd have preferred to have used that as a starting point if I had a suitable base image.

Instead I've re-hashed my Kowloon Motor Bus version (more details in Worldwide Buses set) - not inappropriate as many independents 'piggybacked' on the back of orders from major operators. Despite the 'dumpy' appearance the overall dimensions are the same as a full-height Olympian, but the lower deck windows are shallower and slightly higher set. Both axles have also been moved forward. Like the KMB version, the cab door is from a Routemaster and the grille is from a Dennis D-Series fire appliance.
