Ipswich Transport Museum has begun to restore the old Eastern Counties bus from the 1920s

A museum is trying to raise money for a £100,000 project to restore a bus from the 1920s.

Ipswich Transport Museum has launched a campaign to restore the Eastern Counties bus known as the Tinkling Tilling.

The bus was given the name due to the distinctive noise it made while in motion.

Owen Phillips, project leader and volunteer at the museum, said the service helped to bring affordable mobility to rural Suffolk.
