Just a thought,
but as these two 'new' RHD buses are the only ones built before the introduction of the two rear reflectors. Would there single reflector and recess still be on the drivers side? The opposite to all other buses.

We have started work on the 52, We spent a few days making sure it didn't fall apart? The new roof is ready to go on now and then we can start work on the chassis, I will post pic's of the progress.

Daz keep cracking the whip, great to see the 52 the other night. I will get that chassis to you as quick as i can. And dont forget you need an ignition switch Wink

Anybody know what happened to the other 52 RHD in Sweden?
