Notes
This single deck bus is a scarce find. Shining two-tone green finish with black line and black wheel arch details, grey wheels. complete transfers throughout, including the ‘BISTO’ transfer at the rear of the bus. ‘DORKING’ destination label and ‘LBL 174’ number-plate.
Radiator and headlight assembly is complete and bright. Smooth original tyres are well-shaped. Clockwork motor works well.
Close scrutiny finds a few small touch-ins.
This unusual box in bright green box with a cream label has little of the expected age wear. A nedge rub on one side of the lid has been inked with a blue colour.
