Thanks CSL, Only ever emerging in the spring and summer, on dry days and holidays. We headed west into Cumbria leaving a sunny Yorkshire friday behind us for a weekend of Cumbrian grey drizzle. However we had a great weekend and I washed the grime off in the hotel car park.
Absolutely love this old bus! :-)

One of the ultra rare 'M' reg. E30s! I would have paid you good money up to a couple of years ago to put my M100ORE plate on, that I inherited from my late father.
It's on my E39 towing barge now, and the E30s are on E3Oxx plates.

I do love an M reg e30!
Had the chance to own one in touring flavour,last year but it needed much more work than I had the time for.

What mileage is on yours,may I ask?

Thanks Brian.

If I'm right I think you've seen this in the flesh at some point in the past.
And a nice choice of plate for the e30 may I add. :D

Thanks TPS,

It's a privilege to own it.

Last year it had a bit of renovation In Bodymotorworks in Chesterfield, Matt Summerfields Place and then it was detailed by Steve Bostok at A2D prior to my daughters wedding.
A wedding limousine it became!
And there lies another story!
