1989 Dennis Daf Duple Coach, Choice of 2, 53 Seater Coaches, All Good Drivers. | eBay

Would like to try reverse gear.

One of the school buses I used to get might have looked like this. Anyway, I remember it having a weird remote gearshift (semi-auto?) with a little knob by the driver, and it possibly made a 'psshhh' sound when it changed gear.

Am I imagining things or was there such a thing, and if so, how does it work?

If it had an air operated semi-auto gear shift then it was probably built on a Leyland Tiger chassis.  I think the DAFs all had a "normal" 6-speed manual 'box with a bloody great long lever sticking out of the floor to the left of the driver.

If it made a ‘psshh’ sound it would have more likely been a Leopard with the Leyland Pneumocyclic. The Hydracyclic in the Tiger also had a small gear shifter (either dash or pedestal-mounted) but the shifter was fully electric.

Good point.  Would that body have been fitted to a Leopard though?  I thought the Leopard went out of production earlier than that.

Talking of that 'psshhh' sound, the one and only saving grace of the Iv*co Cargo I used to drive was that the exhaust brake thing was fucked, so that sound seemed to be amplified by a 100. Bombing round Mid Wales in the Summer trying to deal with the tourists was a whole lot easier with your headlights on full beam driving a foot from their arse end pressing said exhaust brake, as they were far more inclined to get out of your way.

Yeah... step away everyone, I want this!

Actually, scratch that... I thought these were RWD but I've looked it up and I was wrong.

Even Sooty has a bigger camper van than that.

It's not the size, it's what you do with it that counts. 

I like that but I wouldn't be very popular with Mrs Grogee if I bought a camper with a single bed.

'I would say this is the best car I’ve had for 30 years,

I'd say you're pissed.

'I'll clean her up if the sale happens'

To be fair, given the interior seems to have been lived in by a chain smoking field mouse with IBS, that's probably better than a years worth of free fuel.

Under 3k for a clean facelift Yukon Denali (which is quite rare) would be a screaming deal in most regions of the world. The very first Escalade was little more than a rebadge of this. Considering this has been for sale for 21 days now tells you a lot about the UK used car market.

Yes. We don't like shit American cars, assembled by delusional red necks.  Under engineered low quality, poor reliability, bad economy, hateful ergonomics. 

Or that's what we assume.
