While you might meet one in active service up in the mountains, most vintage buses in Cyprus have been retired from service. We featured a few that now reside in the Driving Test Centre car park, back in 2018. However, we were recently visiting Evretou, and spotted this beauty on our way back home to Polemi. The sun was beginning to set, and this lovely lady was looking majestic.

Yes Dom, Al was interested in both old buses and lorries and was knowledgeable on the subject, being from Luton where they were built. Think at one point when he lived here was interested in buying and restoring one.

Dammit. I wish I had remembered that before I wrote the blog. I could have included his words then. He would have liked that.
Never mind, there are others out there. I shall have to do one of those at a later date. Possibly on his anniversary. That would be nice.
