The driver in the cortina was mad beacuse he was blocked in by the 1256cc ohv chevette. Just love the tone of the pea shooter on the blue cortina sounds like the rare under powered 1.3 model .

The service number displays on these buses were changed when a few years old from roller blinds to horizontal electrically controlled slats.
This conversion was required to make it practical for drivers to change the side and rear service number displays - controlled from the cab - the older roller blinds required the driver to leave his cab by jumping into the road, walk round the front of the bus, enter the bus to access the controls to the old roller blinds.
