Guernsey Nimbus.
Not everything which comes our way is subject to a full restoration, indeed many things pass though for relatively minor work which the owner hasn't the capacity or the will to undertake themselves at the time.
I forget now why this Albion Nimbus passed through in 2017 but I recall some water issues and test work. Its owner had something of a liking for Channel Island buses and has (I believe) two others in his collection that he and a friend work tirelessly on in their spare time.
JNP 590C is an age related 'mainland' re-reg, it was originally just 16216 on its home island. Amazingly, this antiquated looking Reading bodied bus was new in 1965 but its fair to say that it has the appearence of something at least ten years older. Maybe its the latter fact, with its swooping curves that gives it a charm of its own.
