Absolutely nothing to do with this project but I thought you might be interested in seeing a very rare relic.
This is or was a Foden ex MO6069.
These were taken at Dapto West in 1993.












Ben Summers
Very interesting indeed, Norman
! Jonathan Blackburn
Ben Summers
Your next project, Jonathan
Jonathan Blackburn
Ben , looks quite interesting but already have one with another two coming!
Ben Summers
What other do you have coming, aside from the Worlie?
Jonathan Blackburn
Ben I’m working on getting blue leopard 3869 down to Coota
Ben Summers
Oh cool! That will be awesome!
John Clarke
That has to be a Dooer-Upperer!
Ben Summers
If it's still around. Looks pretty run down here.
John Clarke
Ben Summers I'm mainly into antique aircraft, and I've seen far worse restored to flying condition!
Ben Summers
Fair point John
John Clarke
Ben Summers How's your Tiger going?
It is a Tiger, isn't it?
Ben Summers
AEC Regal 4.
Progress is steady, though I just bought two new O-Rings for it, as the one that goes around the top of the Fuel-Oil filter is shot.
John Clarke
Ben Summers Sorry, couldn't remember if it was a Leyland or AEC!
Graham Inskip
Ben Summers anymore photos?
Have you got rid of the bullbar yet?
Ben Summers
Not yet, Graham.
That's going to be professionally taken off.
I am working towards starting it up before doing anything else on the body.
Terry Davis
Hi Norm as usual very interesting photos.
Do you know anything of th he history ?
I think Punchbowl had a Fodern decker but had it rebodied as s single, overcilly it's not that 1
I know you are to hate but l like the WBBS colours ha ha imagine that restored next to your 1/2 cabin. ����������
John Clarke
Actually, the colours aren't all that different to Hunter Valley Coach's deckers, apart from the black stripe.
May be an image of bus, outdoors and text that says "HUNTER VALLEY COACHES NO8 5"
Graham Inskip
Probably just a pile of rusty dust by now...sham but I suppose they can't all be saved.

I guess all the big heavyweight oily bits will be perfect - preserved by the bodywork above.
Even the massive steel chassis may be ok
