Thanks Gromitt ! - (The front end styling of this bus looks a bit like it belongs in a Wallace + Gromitt film !) -- I'm very glad it survives. -- When I was very young, 50 years ago, I used to be impressed by the build quality of the bodywork of these buses -- as demonstrated by 5185 ! -- -- It's a shame that no-one seems to want to preserve / restore it, -- I would do IF I had enough money !
