Hi there

Anyone remember this outfit in South Wales? I seem to remember seeing one or two of their conversions (not my cup of tea really) but wondered if anyone here had one or knows anyting more on what happened top them.

cheers
 
Saw this in the for sale section.

There were a couple of nice pics of two different buses on this site.
One is a dark color and white, the other is the blue and white one. I've seen a pic of a yellow and white one some where.

mmm, i just think that by the time you have grafted that lump of plastic on the front, painted it to match and generally messed about with details you may as well have bought a split in the first place.
 
Never new they converted these, although that would explain the picture of a so called splitscreen in one of the magazines classifieds a few months ago for sale. It was a front view pic and somink jus wernt right. Couldnt put my finger on it , i reckon it must have been one of these. That orange and white one looks pretty well done though!
 
Theres one in the work shop next to mine at the mo they've pulled the panel thinking it was gonna be an easy resto :lol: man the mess of fibreglass and shit underneath.....

just not right...that said I did for a short time contemplate doing it to my 74 :shock:
 
Well I guess the company went bust for a very good reason.
Don't want to upset anyone but I've not seen one I liked, it always seems a shame to butcher a bay to make one.
However imho, fleetlines and the other weird stuff that came out the factory as a mix of split and bay bits are cool, bays with a badly fitting , poorly proportioned aftermarket piece of fibreglass bodged on arent.
