Modern day preservation.
Not everyone's cup of tea from my generation, but to the younger enthusiast, this is what they grew up with and as a result deemed worthy of preservation in the modern world.
Anyway, a younger customer of ours has seen fit to buy, and throw a substantial sum of money at this bus which has included a new gearbox, an almost complete re-panel, new batteries, new front tyres, various mechanical components and a complete re-spray back into Notts & Derby colours.
This was the Optare Solo yesterday when it arrived back from the paintshop. Now to make some decals . . .
