Durable Dart
Yes I know, not two words you might often hear together, but this little machine has proved its worth, again in the Stanway's fleet.
I took this photo in the Surrey village of Ockley when I originally collected the little bus on behalf of the company, and after an initial hiccup with a water leak, discovered when turning round after taking this photo, it made the 180 mile journey back to base in a sedate and unexciting manner. Following a re-paint and some degree of indecision regarding the layout of the colours (very little by way of beading to use) it entered service. I'm pleased to report that as I type this in 2020 it still performs a regular job each weekday.
Northern Counties bodied L108 HHV (now MIG 9497) was new to London Northern as their DNL108 after which it passed to Hedingham Omnibuses from where it was eventually bought by dealer Mike Nash ... which is where we came in.
