Only coaches I remember was back in 1962 - RMC’s (1962) and later RCL’s (1965) on London Transport Green Line services the 721’s thylakoids had fluorescent lighting, they were very posh coaches, and tube lighting at the time on Routemasters was a very nice to see in the 1960’s.

1992 would have been the time when my father was heading up the electrical line at Aldenham works, so he was probably responsible for the fluorescent light retrofit (but not the bodged removal of the incandescent lamps)

Ooo a Vespa man, I got a MK1 T5 in my front room alongside the 617th built Lambretta LI150 regged in '58. I cut my scootering teeth on a banana yellow R reg Primavera which was just about the fastest thing on 10 inch wheels going hehe One of the old Bromley lot, used to on occasion hang out with the A21 Animals, that was when I had my 1961 Douglas 152L2 which was British built over in Bristol and I used to annoy mods by parking my infamous pile of doings next to their fancy plush scooters and they used to move their rides away from mine with their noses in the air hehe

Well done for taking care when dismantling the but mate. I am involved a group here in ireland restoring old buses and you would be surprised the amount of buses you would find wrappers off condoms or used condoms under seats.
