A wartime bus has joined the fleet at Amberley Museum.
The rusting Dennis Falcon will be undergoing extensive restoration.
The 1939 single-deck Southdown Motor Services vehicle was one of the last peacetime purchases by the company before the Second World War.
Joe Meacher, from Southdown Motor Services, said: “Thanks go to David Mulpeter, who donated the bus to the Southdown Omnibus Trust and paid for the cost of the heavy transport to the museum.”
Dennis Falcons came into use on June 1, 1938.
The start of war in 1939 caused a reduction in services, but the buses continued in service, working relief journeys until the end of December 1942.
The buses were in service in different parts of Sussex including Brighton, Worthing and Ferring.
