Good memories of these buses. Slow, Noisy rear diffs. Rock hard suspension i hit my head on the roof going over a speed bump. Plus side they were so high off the ground you wouldnt get body panel damage.
@jaggass I believe they've all gone now, last one taken out of service very recently, shame as at least they had character and were a reminder of all the bread van minibuses that entered service after de-regulation!

I think I went on this exact one years ago! Cos it sounds different to the others a bit. It was when I was on holiday in Devon.
