One thing with these old buses, you certainly notice the bumps in the road (saw you take-off from the seat a couple of times😂). Our roads in the UK are generally shocking at the moment and even driving the modern buses around is painful at times! Thanks for the video, takes me back to when I was a kid, riding round on these for hours on end. I think I went in to driving about 20yrs too late! Still love every day but would absolutely love to do some of my routes in buses like this.

..and the top deck video was great, giving a totally different perspective and some stunning views. What a lovely area you live in!

Gidday Kristen, thanks for watching mate and I am glad you enjoyed it . The road between Dunedin City and Port Chalmers is a bit bumpy in places where it can slump a bit , bit over all it’s not to bad , the area you mention is a bit bumpy and I edited a bit out where I almost went through the roof 🤣. However it’s fair to say the front shocks are in need of replacement, definitely a bit bouncier than it should be.

Hi Kristan, thanks for your message, ya good to get that perspective. And thanks yes Dunedin is a nice little city , everything is 10 minutes away 😜. Home of New Zealand’s first University’Otago University’ and some beautiful countryside .

Hey Nick, the gearbox is actually a Self-Changing Gears unit on the Bristol VR. The Gardner 6XLB outputs 180hp eventually... Nice to see it has the steering wheel centre cap! Would be lovely if it had the original ECW front - dunno if its been changed for compliance rules?

@kristan999 4 месяца назад

You could be pedantic and say that Leyland bought Self Changing Gears in 1951. Pneumocyclic was also a brand name from Self Changing Gears so the whole area becomes very muddy when deciding what is what. Probably one of the most widespread and successful types of gearbox around the World though.

Gidday, thanks for watching. Self changing gears was owned by Leyland by the time this bus was manufactured , actually since 1957 Leyland Motors too full control of what was Self Changing Gears. So this is in fact at the time of manufacture a Leyland transmission. The gear selector also has Leyland written on it .

A bit of a niche question, but at first glance I thought it had a Volvo logo on front and thus being powered by a Volvo 6 litre turbo engine. Although not using the 'iron' Volvo logo (the circle with arrow) it shows the diagonal stripe across the grille, which is usually associated with Volvo. And older Volvo trucks also often had a similar shield depicting the engine volume (the 6) and it being turbo powered (turbo 6). The shield is sometimes in the centre, but when the Volvo logo is in the centre, the shield is placed somewhere else on the grille, usually bottom right. Do you perhaps know if this intentional or by coincidence?

Gidday , it’s definitely powered by the Gardener engine, previous owner renovated the bus and used a Volvo grille.
