  6. Unfortunately somebody reversed into the back of it and my dad noticed that all the back end was rotten and he got rid of it as he couldn't afford to get it fixed he still says it was one of the biggest mistakes he's made he paid £400 for it in around 1985, I would love to know whether it's still going it maybe in the big car park in the sky.
    I remember staying in a field between Whitby and Scarborough most weekends wild camping we never stayed in campsites.

  8. that it lovely and great history to goes with it, if it has gone, be safe in the knowledge it possibly was a donor and has helped many other buses live......................sorry forget 'Cars' was not real ...................continue to be road worthy

    Long may they run

    sad to know that your old man sold it at only 13 years old and it was already rotten, just shows how bad the steel/treatment was in the 70's?

    For £5 write to DVLA you can get list of owners and then contact last owner and ask them what they did with it.

    You'll find out if its in the sky then.
