BR General Utility Van (GUV) No 86105 was built by Pressed Steel in 1958 to diagram Diagram 811(NK501), lot Lot 30417.<ref>Railway Heritage Register Carriage Survey</ref> It initially carried the number M86105, being allocated to the Midland Region, before receiving a a new number under TOPS of M93105 as part of a general reorganisation of [[TOPS codes]] in December 1983. It was withdrawn from service in December 1992<ref>[[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth (2013)]] p.219.</ref>.
==Preservation==
The SVR stock book states that the Van arrived from Radyr, Wales in on 12 October 1992 (this precedes the withdrawal date given in [[Bibliography#Other References|Longworth]]). By 1999 it had been restored to 1958 maroon passenger livery and sited in Bewdley Cattle Dock where it was put to use as a [[The Erlestoke Manor Fund sales coach|sales coach]] by [[The Erlestoke Manor Fund]]. It continues in in use in this role and is seen painted in unlined BR Maroon livery.
