I used to catch the bus to work about 20 years ago which involved going down a short stretch (a mile or so) of the A47. When the bus was one of these, the driver would floor it up the slip road, an almighty whirring noise would start up from the back of the bus and we'd just about have hit 45 before it was time to brake for the roundabout. When the bus was a Volvo B10, the driver would floor it up the slip road, the engine would growl for a few seconds and we'd be doing 50 before we even hit the main carriageway.

There was one in the yard that I used to keep my bus in that had been converted to a camper. The front door had been replaced with white upvc double doors that you would normally find on a conservatory. That is all I can remember. It looked bloody awful. Obviously because Dart, but it looked even worse than a normal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Fuck it, I'm just scrapping it to avoid dealing with these mouthbreathers' Better than an empty threat. I've done it a few times when I've needed the money and the hand-wringers have gone 4K Walter Mitty on me. Sorry to invoke the sierraman clause, but if a bottom book car is in the way and everyone's taking the piss, the scrap man turns up on time and pays cash. A lack of COD means, if true, that it could be put back on the road, but it may well have been craned/strapped to get it up on high. If it was a J reg, then it of course HAS TO BE SAVED.

As a contractor I wasn't eligible but LOADS of people bought them, mainly in Aspen Green I think. Possibly the facelift bug-eye lights one, I can't remember. Yes the seat cloth is a bit 50 Shades of Grey but overall I think they've aged well. I bet it's alright, this egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I need to say is that they must be good enough for Royal (Sn)ail to buy twenty gazillion of the things in dog dick red, and still use some of them today some 15 years later They're literally just a Corsa C, so any Corsa C foibles need also apply. The 1.7 Diesel is probably the one to go for, and a better allrounder than the 1.3 in my opinion. But the 1.3 is still alright. Not the best, but alright!
