Is this still available, if so any pics?

 

[hogseye]

sorry been away..there is one problem as its buried in the corner of workshop surrounded by stuff (had to clear out a lock up) :roll: have a few pics from when i got it i will post but best to wait for updated ones until the new year

 

[Graham L]

isn't it your bus on ebay at the moment as there is certainly one that matches the description, reg number everything so presumably it will be sold before the new year :?:

 

[hogseye]

not on ebay, hunted high and low thru puter for these 3 bloody pics i took when i collected it, finally found them!! lots of the stuff inside wasn't for early bay and has been ditched or sold

has both sliding doors but front doors shot has good rear hatch engine lid seen better days, he was going for the smooth front panel look (not to my taste), borrowed his trailer (before i had mine) it was some scary shit all bouncing down the rd like one of those inflatable bananas that go behind a speed boat :lol:

Still interested by the way,

its ok didn't think you were being funny i think there was an order for a run of these back in the day, this one has a dormobile or danbury plaque on dash and if you search poss this site there are at least 2 others with fly***j registrations, all twin sliders and the registrations are all close (this one being fly187j). Wonder if a small coach company placed an order and used them as mini busses??

 

[hogseye]

done a little research (just out of interest) looks like there were busses registered from fly184j to 189 (all white) then 194-203 white apart from fly200j which was blue. intesting if they were all ordered by the same person/company 8) mine has 3 previous owners shame there wasn't a copy of the original log book

 

[dames]

the fleet would have looked cool parked up together would be great to know a bit more about the first owner. airport shuttle :?:

 

[shearsy]

I have a white twin slider thats FLY 157J. which started out as a dormobile 11 seater minibus

 

[hogseye]

perhaps yours was the one i saw on a forum around the time i got this one made me look twice as reg caught my eye
