My 1971 bus turned 51 today according to the m-plate (Sept 24, 1970), so I held a small celebration! Anyone else got some manufacture dates around this time?
The "cake" is made from rice crispies and fondant, including the bus 
Cheers!

According to the M plate, mine was built on February 27 1973. This just happens to be my birth date as well, though I wasn’t born until ‘79. Kinda weirded me out when I discovered this a few years back.
