History.jpg)  Marshall Bus was established in the 1940s by David Marshall. In 1958 it bought the bus bodying business of Mulliners.[1][2] During the 1960s it bodied many buses for British Electric Traction.[3][4][5] It ceased manufacturing in the early 1980s.[6][7] In January 1992, Marshall Bus re-entered the bus bodying industry after purchasing the rights to the Duple Dartline from Carlyle Works.[8] It also completed bodies on Iveco Ford 49.10s and Volvo B6s.[9] The company's most popular product was the Marshall Capital, which was a single-decker bus body built between 1997 and 2003. It was built on Dennis Dart SLF and MAN chassis.[10][11] In the 1990s, Marshalls performed overhauls on West Midlands Travel MCW Metrobuses.[12] In 2001–02 Marshall rebuilt a number of AEC Routemasters for Transport for London.[13] In 2001 the business was sold by Marshall Special Vehicles in a management buyout.[14][15] In 2002, Marshall was placed in administration and ceased trading shortly afterwards. MCV Bus and Coach bought the design rights for the Capital body and continued production for a short while before its successor, the MCV Stirling, was introduced.[16][17] Products
