BR Mark 1 Buffet Restaurant carriage (RB) No 1667 was built by Pressed Steel in 1960 to diagram number 24 of lot number 30628. Unlike the Restaurant Miniature Buffet (RMB) carriage which was only intended to provide quick snacks, the Buffet Restaurant carriage included a full kitchen facility as well as a buffet counter. In regular service they were normally paired with an Open First to provide additional seating for diners, having 23 loose chairs themselves.
1667 arrived on the SVR in December 1999 ex Rail Charter Services, to replace sister carriage 1678. By 2007 1667 had been fully restored, and now forms part of the Severn Valley Limited dining set. It is owned by SVR(H).
