Have they any idea what the word 'symmetrical' means?

Maybe there is a door at the other side

The more I look at that, the weirder it gets.  It looks like the driving cab is on the upper level, which is fine for a train, but surely it didn't have the cab upstairs when it was a bus?

Is that the radiator below the cab window?

1. Maurice - we've got to find an easier way to meet than this.

2. Madame - I think its a dog bone stuck in the clutch.

Ah yes there is that possibility...

But it says it can be 3 or 4 berth so in order to remain symmetrical there would have to be some serious differences in the interior layout and it's clearly not symmetrical on the outside if cut in half width ways so I'll stick to my original statement...?

Legal decent honest and truthful my arse.

Topless French - not sure where the Peugeot passengers went to - in the river maybe.

Probably for chasing miscreants down the new fangled motorways; the Metroplitan Police  did it in far more style with 26 Daimler SP250s -

Half-timbered building to match the Rover's half-timbered interior. Don't these cars look better on thick-wall crossplies and simple hubcaps..

Interesting interpretation of the alphabet in the dealer listings in the add above - perhaps it makes sense in cyrillic? Are they grouped by county? There is at least one omission  - Arncliffes of Hull who were mega dealers.

Talking of Hull note that all the Ladas in both adverts are registered in Hull (KH and RH)* except the UA on the estate which is a Leeds issue. Ladas were brought in through Hull docks and the PDI and distribution was done at Carnaby Industrial Estate near Bridlington by Satra (I think).

* should they be carrying East Yorkshire letters (BT and WF) issued at Beverley as they would, I guess, be registered at Carnaby (Bridlington)?

Looks like Bramhall Hall just behind it.

Forget the cars, it's the bus that's the best bit of the photo.
