Another two tone Vauxhall Tyneside

Thanks for posting. Memory lane! Skoda did a series of two-tone Fabias a few years ago. Not well executed in my opinion, and did not take off. I suppose we should get back to trucks, eh?

[kempston]

Don’t forget the old H A Viva… they also came in two tone paint.

Those Sentinels seem quite advanced body wise for their age. The entrance door appear to be located opposite the driver which I think was unusual for the times - 1951

IIRC you could only achieve that with an underfloor or rear-engined bus. As OMO was still only an idea on service buses, perhaps they were looking to maximise space.

I love those first 2 pictures, not in the same emotional class but I did something similar here when I first arrived and made changes to the land, new ponds etc… Carefully noted the tripod position each time and not only were the foregrounds interesting in their changes but the views in the background too. Comes in handy when I need to see where the rocky outcrops are of the swimming pond because below the surface is no longer visible in this wild water.

Would the two eight wheeler tankers be anything to do with Grey-Green coaches?

Thanks for that Steve.

Thanks to DIG, Froggy55, Buzzer, coomsey, J.F.G, tyneside, Kempston, lurpak and vwvanman0 for the photos . I moved quite a few Vauxhalls '62 to '68 and allegedly because of the thinner guage of panel at that time some of the models were prone to early rusting where the metal pressings were a bit more severe, again I suppose it depended on the base metal treatment before final paint.

Todays entry, Buzzer

PA Cresta for me thank you, but saying that I probably would get annoyed banging my leg on the door pillar every time I got out.

Helif they wunt an ugly bunch, particularly the Victor.

Never seen one set up like that. I wonder what it weighs?

The Foden Agritractor was exported to South Africa and was repatriated to England in 1987.It has an age related registration,has diesel farm tractor wheels and tyres and is currently
based in that Mecca of Motorcoaches - Blackpool!

NOTE: The makers plate of 12846 is carried on 13630.

Don’t know how accurate it is but I was once told that Vauxhall cured some of the rusting by changing the polarity of the electrics.

[peterm]

I did that with my Humber Hawk. Can’t remember which terminal on the dynamo that I flashed over, but it ended up being negative earth. Much easier to fit a radio.
