Forgive me if I've missed a very obvious topic but I couldn't find anything from a few searches. Just thought I'd start this for any local or interesting (not the usual deckers that are relisted every week) buses seen on ebay / other bus sales. For instance De Courcey 570 is currently for sale.

OK, so its not eBay but I have to post this.

2x 1983 MCW Metrobuses for sale, one looks like 2464 and the other I can't identify but they're both ex-TWM , and they're both on the pricey side but it looks like a good project a certain someone can undertake in their retirement...

All 4 look pretty tidy to me! Good that you can still get them, the bit about the car license interests me, can anyone just jump in and drive one then as long as its not for hire or reward? And would you have to take all the other seats out or just 'promise' not to take more than 8, but either way imagine the insurance would be pretty expensive

Insurance is not too bad for preserved vehicles, most owners use the same company and as mileage is normally very low (not many people can afford to run thousands of miles with the current cost of diesel, and most are driven carefully as the owners will not want to damage their pride and joy, the premiums tend to reflect this

Exactly Tony. Remember its not like a car; there is no option to use this as 'Social Domestic and Commuting to a single place of work' - hahaha

Providing you're over 21 (some are over 25) the cost of premiums I've seen when researching is about £350~ , anyone can drive providing they're over 25. If you're looking to insure someone who's 17, you can forget it - they wouldn't even quote.

Withdrawn Optare Solo, 284 on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1999-Optare-Solo-M850-low-floor-bus-/190962925545?pt=UK_Minibuses_Buses_Coaches&hash=item2c7646ffe9

I know Solos aren't many people's cup of tea but if I had the time and money (I have neither) it would be nice to restore this to its Harborne Hopper 626/636 livery and branding.
