BMMO D7 Midland Red
What is your favourite bus of all time?
The D7 was introduced in 1953 as the first BMMO double-decker built to a lightweight standard. Constructed with Metro-Cammell bodies to te new Orion design, the first examples were 58-seaters although later deliveries had 63 seats. Mechanically similar to the D5, there were some important changes such as the fitting of an improved version of the proven BMMO 8.028-litre K type diesel, the KL type (Kidney Long), now mounted together with the gearbox in the chassis frame. Weighing in at slightly over 7 tonnes, the D7s were brisk performers, a total of 350 examples being built.
