First look at the dennis marshall bus
History
Marshall Bus was a bodybuilder that during the 1960s built many buses for British Electric Traction. It ceased manufacturing in the early 1980s.
In January 1992, it re-entered the bus bodying industry after purchasing the rights to the Duple Dartline from Carlyle Works,
The company's most popular product was the Marshall Capital, which was a single-decker bus body built between 1997 and 2003. It was typically built on the Dennis Dart SLF chassis, but was also used for other chassis types and to re-body older chassis. In 2001/02, Marshall rebuilt a number of AEC Routemasters for Transport for London.
In 2002, Marshall went into administration and shortly after closed. Thereafter, MCV Bus & Coach bought the design rights for the Capital body and they continued production for a short while before its successor MCV Stirling was introduced. All proceeds from the sale went to the heir of the initial designer, Andrea Marshall.
