Sir Snipes Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 21 hours ago, wesacosa said: These used to operate in Hull when I was growing up, although the single door version. I remember them having some kind of body resonance which sat right at idle frequency so all the windows would rattle until the throttle was blipped I remember something similar, though I couldn't say what bus specifically. If I were resting my head on the window I'd have to lift my head off slightly when the bus was idling! wesacosa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busmansholiday Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 15 hours ago, Tadhg Tiogar said: They were not particularly good, regardless of how few gears they had. They were the best of the "new generation" of double deckers that were developed in the late 70's. The Metrobus (that's a Mk I) was developed from the Metropolitan, a joint venture between Scania and MCW that had a two speed torque converter box. It went like stink, but used fuel at an alarming rate. The Metrobus usually had a Gardner engine but coupled to the Voith box so was far more frugal and the Mk II was even better. After the tsunami that hit Sri Lanka, Metrobuses were selected as the most reliable option to send there to help the country recover. What killed them in Sri Lanka was the low profile tyres, which cost a small fortune out there. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidy looking V6 Mk1 Mondeo, MOT'd til February 2021. Seems very reasonably priced at £1295 to my mind. I’ve always like V6 Mondeo. ( and Sierras and Cortinas before them) pity this is an auto as the manuals are pretty quick and in my opinion the MK1 Mondeo was up their with the 405 as the best handling FWD saloons available in the early 90’s. i remember Perfromance Car testing one, real basic on trims etc, like this one. They were so impressed John Barker got Ford to take back his V6 Probe Long Termer and kept the Mondeo for 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me it would of been a great reason to buy the house next door. I love seeing old cars on drives.
