Great spot GC. You never know what's about on these old work places and farms. Real shame it's been left. Really needs saving but would be a shed load of work though but very cool to have. Thanks for posting them up. 👍👍

Good spot GC.
Depending on it's condition this coach could be a preservation candidate just depends on whether the chassis/body have rotted too much? If so sadly that farm will be it's last resting place as no matter how much cash you'll never get that coach back on the road again.

A great spot GC, thanks for sharing pal. Hopefully it makes it out of the yard for a resto at some point.

A great find this, I love stories like these that old cars tell - did they mention what they were planning on doing with it?

Superb GC and many thanks for smudging it and posting them up on here. It's absolutely marvellous that it has survived for 57 years! Incidentally, the very same coach was also seen in the film Please Sir. It was supplied by Jack Crump (trading as Denham Coaches) and their business was situated inside Pinewood Studios. Thanks again GC Argh! Nice one! Very interesting that.. trust the Gene Genie to find more info out!.. it as more history than I thought! I'll have to watch that please Sir' .. I did notice that it had blue down the side which looked original, yet in the Carry on film it looked red! Can't imagine why they would change the color at the time, since the tone of the Blue and red seem both suited for the period' anyway

I just made some more enquiries lol! So the 90s it was used as a race vehicle! at events like banger racing! and so today as it is now, that's why the last 10 rows of seats, starting from the back going towards the front, have been removed! and there is a hydraulic lift! Probably resemble something like the truck off the Italian job! And apparently last year it was up for sale and someone was gonna buy it, but didn't in the end, and were gonna use it as a Wine bar in their back Garden! How rude

It would make a great 4:3tv bar, we would just need to find somewhere to keep it! The Saint
