The Mt Dandybus unit was a treat to drive.

Any details? Cruising speed? Pneuomocyclic I imagine? Any guess on fuel economy? What is a fair price for these things? And finally does anyone know its history post Mt Dandy? Conversion is basic, so makes me wonder if it has been well treated or neglected since its Mountdandycoach days.

I used to enjoy driving Martyrs' mid-engined Leylands, and always admired the presentation of the Mt Dandy fleet.
