Charles Shipway
Norman you are allowed to feel proud
The sounds of that motor gave me goose bumps
John Clarke
Fantastic!
Sounds just like the 202 to Adamstown East idling at the bus stop in 1966!
Norm, do you have plans to replace those strip-type indicators with the original arrows?
Norman Julian
I am still arguing with myself as to what stage of its life I will be restoring it to. . . as for the tear drop indicator, who knows when that found its way on the bus.
The original may have been destroyed in some manner and all they had was the tear drop type.
David John Allison
Sounds nice
John Lidstone
That is a very good start-up and my word, a pleasing sound too.
Just shows, she didn't want to die!
Good wishes for ongoing restoration.
John Lidstone
The gentle hum of that pre-selector gearbox is very nice with the engine sound too.
Garth Taylor
John Lidstone, I am with you on that.
John Lidstone
