Bit of a revival of the old liveries to celebrate 150 years of Public Transport in Aberdeen in 2013



regards Neil

Remember them, looked well smart. Drove the one on the left once too. It's now down in the Bath area apparently - still in that livery! Saw it on the M4 back in October when we were down there and did a major double take when I spotted it! Other one is in Glasgow now I think along with quite a few of the B10BLE's. Replaced with 'orrible flimsy Wright Streetlites.

Did the local youth dress up in period attire to throw stones at them?

(Presuming they do that there, as here...)

They're not so bad here for that Addo. Now, they do it with Fire Engines and Ambulances but not buses. Should run the little s**t over..

Ah yes; the old "Light a fire then stone the firies" caper. Goes on a bit here.

A traction Avant went for £9,030



And only £425 for a nice big Volvo

Odd the Volvo went so cheap, they seem to hold their value pretty well these days in decent nick (Mercs are the same), hence why I've never had one. 240 is on the wish list.

Who's going to bid on this one then ?

[Northern_Mike]

Not me. I'm a heathen when it comes to these things. I think they are awfully ugly.

The no reserve bit on the auction has the potential of a few genuine bargains sneaking through, and I expect the SM will be well over my modest limit! First up are the motorbikes on Wednesday this week. I would have a few off the list but are any going to go through on my £100 max bid?

probably not this one



or this



but maybe this

Stondon Motor Museum had a red DS Decap hidden out the back, I never established whether it was a genuine Chapron but it certainly was rusty in places, might be one to look out for
