Oldest uk bay ??

[8adgerx]

Can anyone tell me the oldest bay on the road in the uk.
Europe,and the world
I believe mine is quite early and will be very low

 

[8adgerx]

Yeah I've tried to access it but it asks for user and password, how do I get one ???

 

[john the horse]

Speed master is one of if not the earliest uk job

 

[8adgerx]

I'm looking to find out if I will have the lowest oldest bay in the uk
I'm putting it to the ground its early October 67

 

[john the horse]

Er that'll be me then jan 68 lays frame simple

 

[8adgerx]

Yeah but mine is October 67

 

[8adgerx]

Any pics???

Not a prob!








The One.... (Early 'SpeedMaster').

Nuff said! 8)

Yeah way cool that's kinda where I'm aiming.
But with black Fuchs lol
I'm looking for a link pin beam 4 inch chop for the front
The engine is being raised and the chassis is already notched
The fronts on air but needs tubbing
Loving that
What's the age ????

I think the Speedmaster bus is the oldest UK bus on the road . Europe and the World is fastfreddys EBI panel van afaik.

Johns can be the lowest whatever the age!

 

[john the horse]

4inch drop man good luck with getting down you got another 8 to go dude at least and I ain't even low anymore by sum standards been overtaken a couple of years ago

 

[8adgerx]

No the 4 inch chop is off the beam width not height.

My RHD panel van is early Sept '67

 

[8adgerx]

Cool how low is it???
I want something to aim for any pics???

Not being funny but October 67 is quite a way into the build for 68 MY buses considering they were making the best part of 20K buses a month and production started end July/Early August 67.

 

[Clem]

Theres a few August 67 builds about as far as I know.

So, which is the lowest UK early bay ... the Lowly Gentlemen bay that T2D built?

 

[8adgerx]

Oh well

 

[8adgerx]

I'm not making a claim I'm asking if it could be, the bus is being built now and I was just interested,
1. Will it be one of the lowest
2. Are there many pre October vans modded heavily
3. Are the other buses northern European? Or dry state imports?

Sorry for any confusion

I hope to see you guys this coming season, but my main aim will be EBI, as the bus is from Belgium

Mine is a UK bus and it will not be that low because I live in South London which has speed humps everywhere!
