Re: BUS FOR SALE
Our old friend No 10 with Renault body.


Now all we need is a benefactor who will pay for a truck to bring No 10 back West, and to return to Canberra with an SL200.

If a bus is going to be on the truck both times, I may know someone who may be able to transport both buses & at a reduced rate. Watch this space for confirmation.Herbert wrote:
