Reeve Burgess
Reeve Burgess was a bus body manufacturer based in Pilsley, North East Derbyshire in the United Kingdom. It was a subsidiary of Plaxton from 1980 until its closure in 1991.[1]
Reeve Burgess bodied some Leyland chassis including the Cub, Swift and four rare short wheelbase Tigers,[2] but is probably best known for the Pointer body on Dennis Dart chassis, and the Beaver minibus on (usually) Mercedes-Benz chassis. Both of these were badged as Reeve Burgess products until its demise, whereafter they were badged as Plaxton products. This process resulted in some Dennis Dart/Plaxton Pointers receiving both Plaxton and Reeve Burgess body numbers, in a similar manner to some Northern Counties vehicles.
