Wow, I never knew until today that New Zealand had Bristol VRs. It looks so pristine and well presented, and glad to see it has it's original engine and gearbox. Thank you for this video. That bus has better seats than any UK VR I've seen, though I've not seen many, when they were in use they weren't in my area (I was a kid so didn't travel too far with my mum).

Looks nice sir! Almost a "what if the VRT had been Modernised"

@scotty6346 Год назад

I'm in the UK mate and this brings back memory's! I used to drive for Red bus in North Devon, We had VR's and Leyland Nationals! I love the VR, It's a proper decker and you can hustle it along, The gearbox sings! 👌

Hi Scotty, thanks mate for watching, ya 😆 you can definitely get the old girls humming along quite nicely. Nice to hear from a fellow driver . Are you still driving buses ?

@scotty6346 9 месяцев назад

@@busdrivernick No mate, Packed it in about 12 years ago!

I'm glad you managed to eliminate the squeaking noise - i could barely hear the Gardner/ transmission music. Much better on the return journey. I'm glad as well, that although the front has been altered, that it still has round headlights. Although Leyland Nationals are my favourite sort of bus, and VRs second, Gardners are my favourite sort of bus engine.

12:43 A right-hand drive MAN SL202? Something else I didn't know existed.

Nice video again, Nick. Always gives me a good feeling to see those old British buses still driving around at the southern hemisphere.....kind regards from Belgium, Harald

@busdrivernick 9 месяцев назад

Hi Harald , alway great to read your comments, and thanks for your ongoing support of my channel. Yes there is not many of them over here, so a point of difference for sure. Fun to drive too .🚌

@JordanElliott11065 Год назад

Can't beat the Bristol/Gardner/ECW combo!

@ergotot45 7 месяцев назад

Horrible things, the AN68 Atlantean was much better but the NBC kept buying VRs

Never seen a Bristol vr with those light lenses or grill looks different to what I'm use to seeing on a vr but interesting

@busdrivernick 3 месяца назад

Hi Mr Wheelie , thanks for watching, yip your right not factory grill or lights , it’s a Volvo grill I think. Was refurbished a little bit retro , but over all it’s a nice looking bus I think .
