Canada to Busfest !

[burgess]

Hi Folks,

My wife and I will be making our first trip to Busfest and will be in the Nottingham area for a few days.
Not being from the area , I am seeking recommendations as to where I may find specialty / part shops that we could visit .
Shops within an hour of Busfest , Nottingham or Manchester would be preferred.
I am seeking NOS, bespoke,collectibles to put the finishing touches on my 1970 SO-69 with Dormobile roof option.
Thank you in advance for everyone's help.

Most vendors from all over England and many from Europe will be at Busfest , if you are looking for NOS or rare parts that's were you will find them.
I am coming from California myself and wouldn't spend time driving around looking for parts when all vendors will be at the show , some of the vendors I know start packing days before and arrive at the show on thursday to set up.

Make your wife happy and drive to Bath , the place is beautiful and you will earn valuable points allowing you to spend more money for parts and accessories at the show :mrgreen:

If it's Dormobile parts you are after they are still trading, although on a much smaller scale and with different people. They are now based in Hampshire on the south coast. Website here:

If it's just bus bits, the big shows have the main traders there, so you will see most of them in 1 hit.
