Better paint that green & change your username to greenexcouncilmobilelibraryvancumcampermanCheers Reg, it was good fun, although I can't take credit for the bus - that belongs to a mate. I have been thinking about getting another van, but it would have to be a good bit smaller than this - I'm just the help on this job. Some ex council mobile library I presume. Leyland chassis?It is indeed, with a 6-cyl Gardner diesel engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Dutton's run in with Trading StandardsI bet there's more to this than meets the eye. They probably found reasons to condemn it because they didn't want it lowering the tone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
