Aldridge Transport Museum Autumn Event

[Justin Case]

Last Sunday

A selection of local buses 

 

Hard to believe this is 30 years old 

1950 wants its buses back ☺

Volvo Citybus, better than it looks, just awaiting a repaint 

 

Classic cars from the Owen Motoring Club, thanks for supporting us 

A couple of Autoshite favourites, thanks to the North  Birmingham Classic Car Club 

Finally  an oily rag Oxford, which in spite of appearances will not need the attention of the Midland Red breakdown truck ☺

Nice to see 808 still looking good.

Is that Gary’s D7 wrecker in the last pic?

Plus, what’s the story with the citybus?

Thought that you might  like that one ;)

Yes, but  not sure if it is both Gary and Peter who own it 

I'm not sure, I was on 'conducting' duties for most of the day so I didn't really get a chance to speak to  many visitors.

40 years old!

I was lucky* enough to drive a couple of National 2s right at the end of their Lothian careers, one in service. Of course by then their biggest drawback was the entrance step which the local biddies had got used to not being there on the dozens of low floor Darts which were what operated the routes in question 99.8% of the time.
