[QUOTE="Clem, post: 600947, member: 15"] Hard to tell what it is due to having been customised, but we'll assume its a 72 model crossover that was registered late, which explains the L plate. The side of it appears to have been repaired since the original repaint judging by the lower repairs, I assume this is the same around the bus, so everything depends on the quality of these repairs and how much metal vs. filler was used. Belly pans on UK buses can be a nightmare and they can hide rotten sills. There are exceptions, but I wouldn't bank on it. If I had to guess, Id say this was a UK bus that was 'done up' when panels and standards were at a lower level than they are now and that its been patched up and let go a bit since then. I would anticipate that it will need some work on the body soon enough, but the pics are not clear enough to really judge. £6500 may not be a bad price, but it is project money and certainly wont be then end of youre spending.
