The beginnings of the restoration with the Leyland have been put into progress.
I'm in the process of getting a similar size bus that I can use for parts and also a storage area for when I start pulling this one down.
This will no doubt be a huge challenge.
I will keep you posted.

Sounds like a good plan Norman looking forward to watch all the action

Just to let you all know that this photo is a bus under construction not progress of mine.

??? 2878 is an AEC anyway.
John Lidstone
oops, sorry, got the number of your Leyland wrong, with my pet favourite 'blue Frog' from the Sydney Museum.
Should have checked,....
Norman Julian
That picture could be any series 2 Leyland frog you would like to have a guess at.
They were built on a d/decker chassis.
Incidentally so was 2878.
