Now into its fifth generation, London-based Clark Motor Engineering has developed an expertise in recovering and transporting buses and coaches in emergencies and for restoration and repair

In the past, the bus industry was selfsufficient when it came to the job of recovering broken down or accident damaged vehicles. With cut-down buses and coaches or typically ex-military all-wheel drive trucks like the AEC Matador, operators’ own engineering staff would go out and either effect a roadside repair or tow the vehicle back to base.
