Info
Another sunny South East discovery by Aidan was this November 1956 Westmeath registered Split Window Bus. It had seen better days but despite all the rust, and there was a lot, it just oozed cool and potential. The semaphores, ribbed bumpers and small rear lights as well as its Irish heritage are just some of the features that would push this Split Bus to the top of anyone’s wish list.
What became of it? Aidan wasn’t too sure but we’d love to think it was saved before the site was cleared and maybe it will see the road again under its own steam someday.
