Leyland TD4

David has waited for this day for almost one year so at last it's happened. The Leyland TD4 379 that he's restoring in our Garage has gone off for its paint job, it will come back Red and Cream in four to five weeks time and then he will be able to put in the windows, the lining, the seats, the hand rails, the lighting, the bells and lots of other things I don't know about... this should keep him busy and help him get over his loss of Beers, Buses and Britian!
Three small boys raced along the footpath when they saw the bus come out and onto the street, they asked if they could have a look so I told them yes they could and they Awwwed and Aaahhhed as they trouped upstairs :-) and were loud in their thanks as they sped off on their bikes only to notice the film crew on the other side of the road... that stopped them in their tracks again... I've invited them to come and knock on our door in a few weeks and we'll show them the paint job.
Bus Ready, Spectators Ready, Film Crew Ready.... start her up!!

What a great day for the bus to be at this stage - it's such an achievement. Glad it's being documented.
