Service
BR General Utility Van (GUV) No 86105 was built by Pressed Steel in 1958 to Diagram 811 (NK501), Lot 30417. It initially carried the number M86105, being allocated to the Midland Region, before receiving a new number of M93105 as part of a general reorganisation of TOPS codes in December 1983. It was withdrawn from service in December 1992[2].
Preservation
The SVR stock book states that the Van arrived from Radyr, Wales on 12 October 1992 (this precedes the withdrawal date given in 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 sales coach by The Erlestoke Manor Fund. It continues in in use in this role and is seen painted in unlined BR Maroon livery.
