At the Rotterdam Art Week several classic buses were employed for shuttle services. There was a Setra also, but I was too late to take a picture.

I feel a numpty now and am rather embarrased :oops: :oops: :cry: Lovely looking Car .. I think I want one of those now!! :lol:

Hi Grant

I thought I'd check the right model before replying to you and up the advert popped pure fluke.

As to value my house plus the one next door I guess.

I had one of the these in the early 70's. Did 80k miles in 3 years and it never missed a beat. 65 miles to the gallon and a great little car to drive.

I used to park my car in an underground car park where one of the retired residents of the hflats above had two.
One hardtop and one drophead for weekdays and weekends respectively.
He used to rent his flat. He had priorities right.
