I'm sure this isn't BigAl's bus, as this photo is from 1971!!!
The car in front, licence SJO439K, is a Morris Marina 1.3 Coupe, first registration Aug. 01 1971. It was prepared by Special Tuning for 1971 RAC Rally.
The bus were most likely painted like this in 1969 or 1970.
Cheers...

Bob/Arwally-
Pretty hard to tell, lf the one you show in the brochure is a
Left Hand Drive model, then quite possibly-
Out of the 9 produced, only 2 LHD models came to North America & I owned both of them-
The first one l purchased went to the U K to be refurbished & then l restored the second one (in the pic)-That is the one , presently in California, that went there via Texas-
Great machines, those 6 cylinder Perkins engines never quit-

Hi, all friends.
Search Google for "1965 BMC Marshall Bus" !!!
I understand that Mark Mitchell, the owner of BigAl's second bus, purchased this "Unit" too !!!
I'm glad this vehicle were discovered, as it now seems to be a total of nine survivals!!!
That makes it 1/4 of the total build.
Many thanks,
Brimen - Norway

From the seller:
Subject: Re: '63 Pininfarina/BMC Competitions Dept. Support Vehicle
Date: Mon, 7 Sep 2009 22:14:42 -0700
Hello Marcel, Thank you for the email.
I have not settled on a price yet, but it will be quite a bit more
than $20K. I just talked to RM Auctions today and they are interested
in consigning it for their London auction. I am hesitant to ship it
overseas, so I may wait until their Arizona auction in January.
By a strange twist of fate, I actually own 2 of these Pininfarina
busses. I understand that there were only 2 dispatched originally to
the US, so I most likely own them both. The second bus has a nice
body but it has a funky camper interior, and has been partially
converted to a V8 powertrain (no engine currently). I would think
that this would be a good candidate for a modern chassis swap since it
is already modified. The price on this unit will be much less than my
other one.
Kind regards, Mark Mitchell

Hey, is that the Domino in the background of the second pic? I loved that car. Should have taken you up on that when I had the chance Al!
Great pics Darren!

I had the great pleasure of spending the weekend in the BMC with Big Al and JJ a few years back at the Watkins Glenn Grand Prix weekend. What a weekend to remember, had a blast. JJ and Al always kept things interesting. Got to drive a sweet Estate that Al had for sale. Saw some great racing and was in great company the whole weekend.
Heres a pic Al sent me of JJ when they were delivering my dads mini to my place in the mountains!

Bob-
As far as the lack of fins (Oxford Morris tail Lites), they had to go when the original vehicle was converted to a transporter with the ramp in the rear-

Bob- Great pic-Lots of history there-
I believe that transporter was BMC 34 , but as it shows Leyland graphics, it probably was still hanging around when British Leyland took over-
Check the Anglia in the back ground , looks like a sixties model-(105E)
