The second of two similar buses in the Den Hartogh Collection, this Model AA dates from roughly a year later than the other and is an altogether larger proposition. It wears a plaque stating that its bodywork is by Auto-Carrosserie Jan Roelandts of Brugge, a lesser known company that we have not been able to trace or to put its time of build into context. As it presents today, the multi seater rear cabin is accessed from the rear of the body and has bench seats along the whole of each side. A small history file with the car confirms that in 1997 it was imported into the UK, where it was registered under the number 4387587, dating it to 1931 production. That engine number has more recently been replaced, it would seem as today it is running a Canadian built unit, as decoded by the CA prefix to its engine number. While in the UK it resided with a Barry Jenkins of South East London. It later arrived here in Holland and into the Den Hartogh Collection.
