Spit and Polish

A 1967 Bedford SB3. Is that a brushed aluminium shell or silver paint? Apparently prepped for paint, but paint expensive, so Kiwi #8 wire approach. Looks good to me anyway. Fully kitted inside with a bar. My kind of bus.  And yes, you sure are looking at the back end of the recent visitor to [...]

Meet Jellybean

This colourful Bedford van has been repowered with a Nissan Diesel. Originally called “Inspiration” but is likely to be changed to “Jellybean”. Van is headed down South. Keep your eyes peeled and wave out if you see it. (More pictures to be added to the gallery as soon as I can find a spare 5 [...]
