- 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.

- The gentle hum of that pre-selector gearbox is very nice with the engine sound too.
