I had a real thing for Warrington's Leyland Atlanteans and Daimler Fleetlines at one point. Then there was the horrid orange and brown of GM Buses...George Denthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636120634078363608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212570041608488781.post-9860445199718814062015-07-13T15:06:55.204+01:002015-07-13T15:06:55.204+01:00OOOOpppps!

The restrained paintwork has brought out the fine-ness of the detail very well...it's really difficult to achieve this with vehicles as I know to my cost. My own fond memories are of North Western Road Car Co.

Tucked behind the supermarket, Le Bus has been converted into a cafe with seating on the top deck. The lady who runs it, bought it in Antibes. It is very popular with the locals and when we have clients on a painting course, we always take them to experience a little bit of Britain in France.neil whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943185141244707826noreply@blogger.com
