I was having look through e-bay this morning and came across 670 for sale with the current bid at 3050.10 with 5hr to go.I thought this was supposed to be in preservation. What has happened as there ain`t to many ex ACTION 0305s restored.I am sorry haven`t a link but type in bus on e-bay scroll down you will see it.

I am now happy to say that 670 will NOT become a motor home as TAA727 has just purchased her and is fully intending to carry on the restoration of the bus. Albeit in Sydney, not Canberra.

Congratulations on your purchase TAA727. Look forward to hearing about your progress on the bus.

Glad to hear it as I didn`t want to see all that restoration work go down the drain on 670 as there ain`t very many ex ACTION 0305s preserved and to see some updated reports on 670.
