Grenville Motors of Troon, Cornwall, was formed in 1948 when four businessmen bought out local operators Berriman, Berryman's Motor Services and Godolphin Motors. Over the following decades various other operators were taken over, increasing the fleet until Grenville became Cornwall's largest independent operator. Eventually the company was bought out by Western National in March 1988, initially operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary but eventually being absorbed into the main fleet in April 1989. This view, taken on the 3rd August 1981 at the main depot in Troon near Camborne, shows RNR9G a Willowbrook bodied Bedford VAM70 fitted with 45 dual-purpose seats. This vehicle was new in 1969 to Gibson, Barlestone and was acquired by Grenville from Boyden, Castle Donington in 1978.
