I just thought i'd share this pic with you guys...
On friday, I almost made it to the MOT station.. but the motor sucked some shit through the carb and it wouldn't run..
I've had this bus for 5 years, and its almost on the road..
If you fancy some reading, there are a few pages there too.. but interesting history and stuff.. check here..

Cheers
Deano

Mate, you sure you didn't leave your pint by the carburator while messing with the engine?? 
Looks good! Can't wait to see it. Say "Hola" to Beck.

Looks great!
I hope you don't think I'm hitting you for six when I tell you that the steering wheel is on the wrong side mate.....as Johnny would say; "just having a giraffe". |

Hey Deano ... good work. I've been following your efforts. Get it on the road and they'll be 2 ... 1 more to go, in OZ. We'll have to work the guy to either fixit or sell it. I hope you enjoyed the process up to this point; the 216 looks great. RickC

I'm sorry Anchovy I've looked hard at that picture but can't see what you're getting at  Passing on the left leaves your sword arm free to lash at passing ruffians and vagabonds. At least that's the way we do it over here...especially in Hampshire.  |
Possibly the first ever production UK RHD bus.. according to some literature i've read..

From your tone sir it's clear you've never travelled the rural roads of Hampshire. |
I know your taking the piss Mate! Been there! I'm a Brit! I was knighted by the Queen back some time. Lots of good pubs down there. Though not a good place to be driving around if your pissed out of your tree. REALLY! |
