I had to use Google!! There's a very similar car in the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu but it's advertising Worthington Bitter.

I seem to remember there was a Mackeson Stout (or may have been Worthington?) one as well as the Bass running about when I was a mere youth. Have seen that Orange as well but can't remember where.

The Orange was in the motor museum at Beaulieu last time I went. However that was in 1989 so it may have moved on now!

Can confirm it was still there in the early 2000's when I lived down that way!

No, that's XT5195, another TL30 on the fleet of Bass Worthington bottle vans.

The Outspan Orange and Worthington lorry are both still in Beaulieu’s collection but neither is currently on display.
