I confirmed this last Monday mate when it re-entered service on the 10A :-)

I also had it then on Thursday night on a late 89 and as you say, it's excellent. I did pick up on some slight rattles from the panelling above the windows toward the rear however. One other thing noteworthy is that it's been completely re-upholstered and the paint looks very fresh - I would assume therefore that this is why it visited Yorkshire? Says something about the condition it must have returned in though that it's had to be fully re-upholstered.

Would make more sense I suppose! Just hold out for 2489 or 2495 mate ;-)

I wonder if this is why 2993 needed some serious attention? It looks like it's been NFS since last November, as that's the last photo of it.
