Indeed Welung, and also wait until Smethmate (Byron) clocks it!! ;D ;D ;D ;D
Absolutely stunning, and if I had the money................!!!! ::) ::) ::) As a part owner (with my ex and others) of a 1958 Duple in the past, I really appreciate that styling. It would be great to drive, and I could have some real fun in that!! ;D ;D ;D :y :y :y :y

It is! It would make a stunning DIY Winnebago though ;)

A real time-warper without doubt. :y
Would be interesting to get the full story behind it.

Damn they must be cheap around your way.. point us in the right direction? ;)
Still can't quite see the appeal of spending £50k on an old bus, though .. but each to their own!

Well let us put it this way Aaron, if everyone registered on the OOF sends me just £10, I will then buy the coach. I will then promise to come to every meet and ferry people around whilst their Omega's are being dealt with! 8-) 8-) 8-)
There, what a bargain for everyone!! ::) ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;)

50 Grand?????? ::) ::) ::)
Someone's having a laugh! ;D
For the preservationists ....... hmmmm ........ I'd say 15k, and not a penny more. :y
Cheap and cheerful 'off the peg' crap - "end of" etc. :(
-
Love it, but £15or £50k, I have neither spare sadly... :(
Unregistered!! would there not be a problem there, if registering new and now as it would not meet today's safety standard's, but as was built in 1970 would it need to?

I do not think so Mike as it will be given a 1970 reg. number and will be treated like a vehicle from that time in private ownership.
If it become a commercial public service vehicle, then I suppose it would be different with the regs being applied.

Not sure that there'd actually be a problem registering it.
It might be allocated a 'Q plate' initially, though the purchaser could possibly substitute this with an age-related cherished plate subsequently.
To actually 'work' the coach, it's the contract specification that'll state the vehicular requirements.
For instance, many local authorities will specify seat belts, low floors etc.
For 'heritage work', weddings etc; there should be little problem, though that sector is pretty limited work-wise.
An enthusiast though should have no problem, beyond initial registration and certification.

Just had a Happy New Year message from a member here so thought I would pop in.
Very busy these days thank god.
I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year.
I will pop in now and again just to say I am still alive.
Very nice coach by the way, sadly, Seth thinks not.

Absolutely, though it'll probably be okay for an enthusiast.
Anyway, welcome back missus and blwyddyn newydd hapus :y

What with my love of classic cars it'll come as no surprise to most of you that i adore this, what a find. If i had the money i would buy it to show. It would make a brilliant motorhome conversion but given the originality i could'nt change it in any way. Sweet!!!! 8-)

That was my thinking when I restored my former AEC Reliance bus some years back Guy.
It was simply too good to spoil. :y
