Yes it's in our workshop after arriving from Winsford via Runcorn yesterday. Interior looks extremely clean for its age. What sort of history does this bus have?


RE: Fairbrother's of Warrington - motormayhem1 - 16/04/2014 20:27

Ive driven a few and some are good to drive as some are smooth and comfortable but on the other hand some are sluggish,uncomfortable and cold but i cant commentvon the one they have bought as never been on or driven that one.
