Thanks Reece - but I'm confused !
- The bodywork looks superb, - almost like it's been repainted, but in First "Olympia" livery again (or "Urban 1" if that's the same thing !)
- but that would be a bizarre choice for Heaton.

Therefore, I assume they have just done an incredibly good job of cleaning/restoring the paintwork !
- in which case, First's head office need to see this !

How much!!

Funny to see it on ebay and think 'I've sat there'.
Yeomans will probably buy it, we've got virtually nothing else local-bus wise.

Yeomans will probably buy it...

Hope they keep the FirstGroup livery on it. That'll confuse them on the local Hereford services!

Mind you it would be more likely to happen if you took the 8 from in front of the price

It would seem 53043 is now in service with Jim's Little Buses of Hertfordshire, still in FirstGroup Urban livery.
