Some seriously nice motors there.

Old buses are awesome, they just look shit and boring now. I really love those old 70's coaches too, they just look perfect to me, such a shame you don't see many of them nowadays.

It was a good show (I've been meaning to attend for several years but other commitments always got in the way ), I got there about 11 (on foot, not with a vehicle) and left about 1... Quite reminiscent, especially the GM Buses exhibits .

 

The tram line has been massively extended, and the shed was a very pleasant surprise! Barely recognised the place, it's been so long since I last went to Heaton Park .

 

I also tend to think I've got "the thing" about my fleet - but after today I feel rather cleansed !!!

 

Thanks for posting your pics .

Loads of really nice cars there. I enjoyed the photos. The red Mercedes CE, the XJ40 and the Daimler XJC are very handsome - and a fine collection of Yanks too.

 

I'm glad none of the old busses were those green painted Crosville ones. I break out in a cold sweat when I see them. They remind me of school.

I was within a mile or so of that for some of yesterday afternoon.  Probably explains the Stag I saw on Scholes Lane.

Superb photos and it looks like a great show. I couldn't go as the tax disc has ran out and I don't need to renew it.
