Robin the Red Bus – one of the most smiley drives I have ever had.
An ex Dial-a-Ride disabled mobility bus, so maintained to maximum safety and reliability standards.
Just sailed through an MOT, and with a V5 Revenue weight of 2,780 kg so can be driven on a standard car license, plus the heavy access ramps have been removed.
V5 in my name.
Exclusivity – only about 600 of these were made, coach built here in the UK by Bluebird (since changed company name to Mellor), using VW T5 engine, running gear, etc. So you can have the convenience and reliability of a VW T5 whilst driving a very rare vehicle. Plus there’s a very friendly Facebook group dedicated to these vehicles who are always keen to help and advise if required.
