They were completely fucked, they were being kept running by cannibalising stock taken out of service. Spares were unavailable anywhere. A scheduled service can't be run on that basis.

And it's not like they were replaced with brand new models.
The ones they're using now are refurbished D78s from the 70s and 80s.

They look lovely right now, but give them 20 years and they'll look as dated as the old ones.

Spotted this on my morning dog walk. 

Central Newport, near train station.  Seems cheap, could help with storage/collection if any interest. 

A delightfully pogweaseled Civic was parked nearby, and I also saw a giffer driven dark grey/black E reg Mazda 323 hatchback pulling a substantial home-made trailer drive by.  Good times.

1 of two Honda S800’s I have for sale. 
It belonged to a family member that has now gone into a care home. He purchased a pair brand new, one for himself and one for his wife back in 1967, look at the consecutive registrations!

Picture 3 of 7

Rover 600 620 Diesel Spares/Repairs | eBay

'It recently had an mot and there isn't much in the way of rust'

Unless it was tested in about the last 15 minutes, the last MOT expired in June.

Anyhow, it's diesel and it's only £290 AND it's right on your doorstep @Iamgroot Good luck driving it home though, M8!

It's the 3.2 which must be a bit of a laugh in these, as Omegas with the same motor didn't half go. It's only £995 and it's tested until January next year.  If Autoshite start doing 'citizens tests' then basically if you tick 'NO' next to 'Do you like this Vauxhall Vectra' then you should get deported to Rhyl.

Just looked at that "for a friend", I think it's too dire even for me! I'll take a picture of it for you when I drive past next week if it's where I think it is

Is that old garage still going there? I'm sure it was (just about) still operating when I last when past over 20 years ago now.

Mad how you just never see these now.

'VTR petrol 3dr'

'citroen c4 1.6 hdi vtr'

It is petrol, but also uses oil.

There were actually three at one point! One is still going (doing car repairs), one got knocked down and one closed but the pumps and office and that are still there, I'll try and get pics!

Aaaargh my eyes! If only they'd followed Rolls-Royce's lead and used a lower profile or slightly raked back version of the traditional grill to blend in with the modern body shape it might have looked a bit less gopping.
