The Bristol B was a bus chassis built in Bristol, England, by the Bristol Tramways and Carriage Company and introduced in 1926. It was widely known as the Superbus. The company had begun giving its chassis sequential letter codes in 1925, and the B was one of the early types in that lettered series. Grace's Guide records that it stayed in production until 1934 and that about 780 were made, including about 300 for Bristol's own fleet, so a large share of the output went to other operators. It belongs to the first generation of Bristol chassis, built long before the company became Bristol Commercial Vehicles in 1943 and later passed under Leyland ownership.
