That would be a great home for my bus chassis !

 

 

This could go in minature Shite , but its also a bus.

 

Bought this years ago at a swap meet for 30 quid. It's a model of a COMMER AVENGER chassis . ( Me Dad said that, and he knows everyfink about buses !! ) Other than that I know nothing about it , but one day I'll restore it. The front axle was broke,but me old Dad has made another.. most of the rest i have in a box.. It's all rivited Alooominum chassis rails, wooden engine block ,copper and ali for other parts ..Exquisite ain't it ?? Looks like an apprentice piece, must have taken hours to build..The penny gives an idea of it's size.Double click pics and they'll go big !

The M reg Favorit belongs to my mate Paul Roberts, was a bargain from Copart, had very minor damage, now repaired, has tiny miles too

[UltraWomble]

They get a good airing too now & again - especially that popemobile

[mouseflakes]

That green(ish) Favorit has me salivating.

[Felly Magic]

The red one is for sale if anyone is interested

[ShiteRider]

Used to go leyland museum every year for ford day in the cortina, not been the last couple.

Is the australian double decker still there? It'd make an awesome camper

[MarvinsMom]

 

it looks a sweet ride too... i always liked the favorite.

 

they were such neatly styled cars and i thought they were well screwed together too, and developed for next to nothing no doubt. since at the time skoda were proper skint
