If Doc wasn't such a purist on the bus, that could be turned into a superb and luxurious motorhome! :)

[chin] Well when it's finished, he might be persuaded to have so many of the rear seats removable. If the farm is being upgraded, perhaps there may be room to store a prefabricated
bed and kitchen that could replace said seats when needed :wink:

Indeed, an interesting concept :D but getting such a module in and out might throw up some loading access problems! :lol:

Nah, it'll only ever be a bus, with full compliment of seats.

I have the ambulance for a mobile home should I need one!

It has yellows rather than blues now, since blues are not allowed on the public highway.
It never had a siren, but it did have a bell, and I have a bell to put on it...

Blues aren't illegal on the highway! For a couple of quid you can have the vehicle registered with all manner of services to keep the blue lights, cant use them on the road, but there is no reason you can't keep it original!
