Leeds, one of the ex London Feltham cars on the left.

No......

Ha, ha, ha. Many a small operator has fitted a ticket machine on the top of the engine cover to use such things for one man. The difficult bit was the doors, either a mechanical arm / handle or even a piece of rope. Ask me how I know. Don't also forget Ford offered their R192 or R226 (both front engined) with Plaxton Derwent bus body for one man operation.

Hate Nationals that I do, it was a lot, lot easier for a shift than a crash box Leopard on local services, and South Yorkshire is hardly flat.

Same interior trim as mine was, unfortunately I'd end up sleeping in it in the public car park down the road if I won it.

Aaarrhhh, the sound of that V6 engine, screaming away in the back of a Roadliner was something to behold. I was lucky, Chesterfield had some (never got to drive one), but travelled on many, and travelled on Bournemouth's (on loan to LCBS), and.. Stay still my beating heart !!! The re-engined ones with the Perkins V8 may have been more reliable but....

Think you'll find that's Leeds.

Looks good, the pics even make Donny look desirable*.

PROVIDED you don't spam every thread at every opportunity with things about Invacars like you have done in the past (as you know Dez, I've helped you with some things and my grandfather had one). Bare this in mind when you comment on other people's threads !

I had that a few years ago. Turned out the bulbs that had been fitted were the cheapest possible Chink made ones possible. Fitted some decent ones and it was ok.

I'm sure Dez has pictures on here of some old time racing of Invalid carriages. We could recreate it by shipping all the surviving ones over there for a race. @dollywobblerwould probably end up a multi millionaire from the resulting YouTube video.

Had one of those back in the late 80's, not 100% sure I want another....

That looked like my Hunter after the rust set in

Stick a Hayabusa in the back instead of the Styer, that'll quicken it up a bit.

What's that then, about a grands worth of just labour?

The top one isn't a Pegaso. It has an AEC style badge on the front and appears to be Portuguese registered. I'd therefore guess it's a UTIC chassis as UTIC assembled AEC chassis's in Portugal under licence.and used a modified AEC badge. Bodywork is possibly Caetano or Ayates EDIT, web pic says Ayats bodied Pegaso, ha, ha. Look closely at the destination display and the manufacturers badge is either side of it. Whilst it's not that clear, I'd say that says "Salvador" to the left of the display and "Caetano" to the right.

No, the ones that came back were from Prince Edward Island, off Newfoundland. Those RTs are mechanically heavily modified. They had petrol then gas engines, think one might even be battery powered now.

Probably a good way to get into a cheap automatic, " Probably a good way to dearly regret buying a car......

Leyland Leopard bus chassis with Marshall body, apparently now preserved.

The other thing to consider is that yellow lights are nearly monochromatic (ie single colour). That gives you two advantages; firstly that yellow is the peak response of the human eye so vision is better, secondly because it's monochromatic the reflection due to fog is greatly reduced (no prismatic effects).

The frogs introduced yellow lights before WWIi so if you drove around at night with white lights in WWII you were obviously a German invader and fair game to be shot at. Think they still felt the same for a long time after they were liberated.

Would have expected the reg to start with Y (Yorkshire) not V (Worcester ) if it came from Eric. Wonder if you can even get a starter motor for one. EDIT, ECP and GSF say no for the starter motor but there's one on eBay for £185 if there's any brave shiters out there.
