Another Preserved Yellow Bus Fleetline   Message List

Re: Another Preserved Yellow Bus Fleetline

MFX 175W was originally purchased by Bournemouth Transport, and is a little bit
of a celebrity?
 
This Fleetline is the last Fleetline to ever have a Gardner engine put in her,
and technically the last Fleetline delivered to Yellow Buses, as 174 & 176 were
delivered before her!
 
There is a chance that she may go back into Primrose and Plum livery complete
with the crest, but this will be down to the members of the South-West
Preservation Group, and is one of 6 possible liveries (inc Blue Flash!).
 
To join the South-West Preservation Group, just ask and i will advise how this
is done. We currently have 2 ex-Yellow fleetlines, with a third being added as
we speak, and the option on a Marshall bodied Lymp!
 
Regards

Hi Matthew, I see that it was registered between March 2000 and August 2000. I thought that all Bournemouth plates were either LJ, RU or EL under the old...
