12/06/2016. New in March 1998, R792 DHB is a vehicle of historical significance.
She is the last Alexander PS bodied Volvo B10M-55 ever to be built. In addition to this, she was the final step entrance single deck vehicle to be delivered to Stagecoach Group.
Initially allocated to Cwmbran depot, she operated services X23 between Blaenavon and Newport and X30 between Pontypool and Cardiff.
April 2001 saw her repainted into the now standard 'beachball' livery. She became 20392 in January 2003.
In 2007 she was transferred to Brynmawr depot for use on routes X15 and X16. Despite spending February 2010 in the reserve fleet, she was claimed by Aberdare depot in the March.
While in Aberdare she was re-seated and allocated to marathon service 172 for the following three years.
She returned 'home' to Cwmbran depot in February 2013 and was put to work on the Severnside network.
However, in March that year she was taken out of service and sent to Blackwood depot for refurbishment and restoration. It was here that she once more gained her 'white and stripes' livery, original fleetnumber, fog lamps and seating.
She was kindly donated to Cardiff Transport Preservation Group in March 2015 following withdrawal from service.

The latest addition we welcomed to the collection at Tyneside Heritage Vehicles is former Western National Neoplan Skyliner E213BOD.
E213BOD was one of two first-series Neoplan Skyliner double-deck coaches to be purchased by Western National in April 1988. It was numerically first and received the fleet number 1400. Both Skyliners were delivered with National Express specification and in Rapide livery, and in their heyday operating the "overnight Londons" back and forth from Penzance, as well as the odd daytrip around the country.
After being with Western National in 1995, 1400 was sold to Smiths of Sittingbourne in the early nineties who were one of several operators in the South East of Kent who attempted commuter operations to and from London. The services proved popular by the mid-nineties, with nine departures a day to and from the capital serving various parts of Sittingbourne as well as Sheerness, Faversham, and Bapchild. A year later it passed to Liberton Travel (McVay). Shortly before the millennium, the coach was purchased by Brian Barnett Fairway Rider in Hull and re-registered as A19BLB. The Neoplan has been in use for a fair number of years with the Yorkshire independent, who used it predominantly on trips throughout the UK and further afield into central Europe. During its latter days in Hull she was found on school contracts.
On 25th June 2016, the Skyliner was sold to a private individual who after living down south and regularly riding the vehicle during its National Express days took a shine to the two Western examples.

The Alfa Romeo 1900 is a sports sedan designed by Orazio Satta for the Alfa Romeo company in 1950. It was Alfa Romeo's first car built entirely on a production line. It was also Alfa's first production car without a separate chassis and the first Alfa offered with left-hand drive. The car was introduced for the first time in 1950 at the Paris Motor Show.
The 1900 was offered in two-door or four-door models, with a new 1,884 cc (bore 82.55 mm (3.3 in), stroke 88 mm (3.5 in)), 90 bhp (67 kW), 4-cylinder twin cam engine. It was spacious and simple, yet quick and sporty. The slogan Alfa used when selling it was "The family car that wins races", not-so-subtly alluding to the car's success in the Targa Florio, Stella Alpina, and other competitions. In 1951 the short wheelbase 1900C (c for corto (Italian for short)) version was introduced. It had a wheelbase of 2,500 mm (98.4 in). In the same year the 1900TI with a more powerful 100 bhp (75 kW) engine was introduced, it had bigger valves, a higher compression ratio and it was equipped with a double carburetor. Two years later the 1900 Super and 1900 TI Super (also 1900 Super Sprint) with 1975 cc engine were introduced (bore increased to 84.5 mm (3.3 in), stroke unchanged). The TI Super had two double carburetors and 115 bhp (86 kW). Transmission was a 4-speed manual on basic versions and 5-speed manual in Super Sprint version, the brakes were drum brakes. The 1900 had independent front suspension (double wishbones, coil springs and hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers) and live rear axle.
Production at the company's Milan plant continued until 1959: a total of 21,304 were built, including 17,390 of the saloons.
The chassis was designed specifically to allow coachbuilders to rebody it, the most notable of which was the Zagato designed, 1900 Super Sprint Coupe, with an improved engine and custom body design. The Alfa Romeo 1900M AR51 (or "Matta") is a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle based on the 1900-series.

The car on the photo is one of only five examples produced. Chassis N° 10439, sold by the Alfa Romeo Factory in March 1957. Super Sprint engine, 1975cc, 115 HP.

The Lamborghini Miura was a sports car produced by Italian automaker Lamborghini between 1966 and 1972. The car is widely considered to have begun the trend of high performance, two-seater, mid-engined sports cars. At launch, it was the fastest production road car available.
The Miura Roadster (actually more of a targa-model, but without any removable roof) was built by Bertone as a show car. Based on a P400, it was first shown at the 1968 Brussels Auto Show. After having been exhibited at several auto salons the car was sold to the International Lead Zinc Research Organization (ILZRO) who turned it into a display-vehicle showcasing the possibilities of using zinc alloys in cars. The car was named the ZN75. A few other Miuras have had their tops removed, but this Bertone Miura Roadster was the only factory open-top Miura.

West Midlands PTE 1030 arriving at the Sandwell VVR in May 1980. 1030 was still a service bus in Coventry at the time, and was not a preserved vehicle. The bus was displaying Harnell Lane Garage, but was allocated to Sandy Lane Garage, as denoted by the 'S' over the driver's cab.

This armored vehicle belongs to the FBI. It was parked outside of their building in Washington D.C. during Police Week 2010.
Every large bus company needs a van or two to carry inspectors, carry workmen and their tools to repair bus stops and so on. These 'ancillary' vehicles can be converted old buses, but in the case of Oldham Corporation two brand new Land Rover vehicles were bought in 1963, including a quite rare forward control version. Oldham sits at the feet of the Pennines and its operating area reached far up into the hills, so we're not surprised to see that the town's Corporation Passenger Transport Department left nothing toi chance with a pair of these go-anywhere vehicles.
We're not quite sure who the gentleman on the right is, but the person on the left is Harry Taylor - General Manager of Oldham Corporation Transport, and whose name appeared on these vehicles (and every bus in the fleet). He later became SELNEC's Director of Engineering after Oldham was absorbed into SELNEC in November 1969.

Unusual International school bus. There are dozens of lakes in this area and many Summer camps. I assumption is that along with campers and staff this vehicle also carriers canoes at the back and luggage on the rooftop carrier.

Finally finished this roughly 1:10 scale project I've started long ago - it took me a while to come up with the shapes as I wanted them to be, but the work is now over. Some elements and their sizes still don't really match the original vehicle, but let's call this a necessary sacrifice :D
Shoutout to VerSen for amazing photos!
