Great if you're in England.

    True!  Only a TOTAL IDIOT would buy a bus in England and ship it over here, right???

[CrabbyMilton]

Well I don't know what you talk that way but perhaps some people would not be comfortable with a bus that may be next to impossible to find parts and service for. I would imagine that some of UK buses were brought over and given American powertrain components to make it a bit easier to use.

During the summer of 1973, my high school art teacher bought and brought over a mid 50's double deck bus. Was fun to drive with its semi-automatic, pre select four speed, right side drive, no power steering and being 14'6" tall was a challenge. Ran well until something went wrong with the engine. It then sat for the duration. Good Luck, TomC

I just can't see why any sane person would try to travel and maintain a 60's something old vehicle.

Too new? 

[oltrunt]

Uncle Ned, I know what you mean.  All I wanted was something older than what I would have ridden to school in, hence the '35 skoolie.  Now if I could only have a chase car to pick up the pieces as they begin to fall off on the road----

Could I buy one from you?  I have about $500 to spend and need it delivered to my house with a full load of fuel, food in the fridge, storage for a small village and it must be able to climb mountains at a high rate of speed.  I will probably buy it from you by the end of the month.

When I see these sort of "what evers" for sale at the prices like asked, the thought comes to mind are they serious?  Or ... is the entire process somebodies ideal of a grand joke?

Now if it were already in the good old USA, (assuming they would let you import it) and had a good MUI 471TI Detroit with a real Jake Brake and a suitable mechanical Allision ...

And a big gen set and more A/C to work over here in our summers in the southwest and if the price was only $22,500, then I could see somebody actually buying it.  Just me.

HB of CJ (old coot)  Also I did not see if the brakes,  suspension and steering had been updated.  It did say air bags, but I dunno.  It does look kinda cute actually.  Blimey.

     Umm, oh, yeah, I forgot about that part.

I use to ride to school on one of those double deckers, where in the UK is she from?
