Who we are
The PSV Group is a non-profit collective dedicated to preserving and restoring historic UK buses. Every vehicle we save represents a piece of transport history that would otherwise be lost — and everything we do is funded through our own efforts and the support of people like you.
Our purpose
Historic buses are more than just vehicles — they are part of Britain’s transport heritage, each with its own story, character, and place in the memories of the communities they once served.
Without preservation, many of these buses would be lost forever. Through restoration, maintenance, and public events, we help keep that history alive so future generations can continue to experience and enjoy it.
We protect vehicles that represent an important part of the UK’s public service vehicle heritage.
Many of these buses are remembered by the people who travelled on them, worked on them, and saw them every day.
By attending events and sharing our progress, we make preserved vehicles available for others to see and enjoy in person.
These are some of the vehicles currently receiving our time, funding, and attention as we work to preserve them for the future.

What drives us
We share a common interest in preserving buses from across the UK for the future.
Preserving a bus involves far more than simply keeping the vehicle. Each project requires ongoing mechanical work, careful restoration and an understanding of the details that made the vehicle part of everyday life.
Our aim is to protect that character while keeping our vehicles presentable, operational and available for people to experience. From major restoration work to routine maintenance, every job helps secure another part of Britain’s transport history.
We strive to restore the buses as close to original condition as we can get them, paying attention to both their appearance and mechanical condition.
We try to preserve buses that are unique and different, ensuring our fleet represents a varied selection of vehicles and operating histories.
Preservation matters most when it can be experienced. We aim to display and operate our vehicles at events so others can see them in person.
