What a Way to Treat a MCW Metrobus

horsencart

master brummie
This has how 2 fully preserved MCW Metrobuses SDA832S and NOA461X that had a huge amount of money spent on putting them into as new condition (1979 & 1982). It's mad how the owner a.k.a. Mad Ron sent these buses in for it they could of been destroyed & 1 of them is a very rare protoype version! Both of these buses were new to Coventry Garage hence the destination equipment for Coventry services

TV motor shows are well known for dumbing down. Be thankful this was not Top Gear where these buses would have been driven to destruction.Mad Ron got his buses back and probably was well payed.

Next week I understand they may have the Coronation Coach versus the Pope Mobile. No wonder I watch so little television.
 
Glad this didn't happen to them
